#12After signing up: "Thanks! I'll send you an email once the book is released." How about sharing vim tips every week as you are writing the book? If you write me one email 8 months from now, I'll probably forget who you are.
Hmm, I don't want to be spammy, but this could be a good idea. Anyone else have thoughts on this?

I would not view that as spammy at all.

It wont seem spammy if it is well executed. Just make it easy to unsubscribe from the tips without unsubscribing from the book notification. Also, make it clear in the first email that the recipients only signed up to get notified about the book but that you thought it would have been useful to send periodic tips. Also be sure that the tips have are posted on the web, so they can be shared and viewed without having to reference an email.

I think it's a great idea, especially if the tips are concise and easy to absorb.

Actually it's a pretty good idea, maybe even better than the book itself. I'd be glad to receive vim tips everyday in my e-mail.

People sign up to your list because they are interested in content you provide. No one will mind, and it will certainly improve your sales once you do launch.
I did this with my book. 0 unsubscribes.

I agree to the daily or maybe have an option for a weekly thing, but I am not sure how this will match up with the model/book you have planned out so far.

#19Why is this being voted up? There is no content on the page besides a vague overview of what the book is about.
Where is the appeal to authority? Who is bengl? Is he an author or contributor of vim and that is why it's being upvoted?
Re: Modern Vim
#20Will you include examples for configuring VIM as a language specific IDE, e.g. for Python or Clojure?
