Ops can mean a lot of things...

IT operations? Business operations? Military operations?

There's zero content on the site you submitted. I'm guessing it's yours, because I can't imagine why anyone would submit a nearly blank site.

Below is a link to the Google Group, also zero content unless you join. Why would I join a random Google Group that I have no idea what it displays or who else has joined it?

https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/readops

Edit: Additional content was added and the group was made public. IT ops.

Sorry -- we're still setting up, so things are a bit muddled. I've moved the welcome message onto the homepage and made the discussions public, so you should be able to get a better idea of what's going on now. Thanks for the feedback!

You could have taken the opportunity to give us some info about the group when you commented.

EDIT - The welcome screen is still useless as I had to "click" another link to get an idea what the group was about...

Pet peeve of mine... Linking to the Kindle version when a hard copy version is available.

The site is much more informative now. Thanks.

Well, if I understand it correctly the idea is awesome and I wish it existed for other topics as well. Seems like it would be a great addition to a big providers book catalog like kindle or google books, audible etc.

But as others have said, it could really use more details on the home page.
