We should define the requirements for a pamphlet (leaflet) outlining some of the ideas. There should be a number of them, targeted at different groups of people and optimized for different environments. After we define the requirements, we should reedit existing materials, fit it into the correct formar and copyedit it for maximum effectiveness.
- pamphlets for one-timers, but DO NOT USE for repeats
- pamphlets should be tested for effectiveness
We should test the methods and have feedback mechanisms for changing them. We should solicit feedback from our colleagues about their needs for spreading the ideas effectively.
We need to define groups (hives in Seth's terminology) of people interested and receptive to our ideas.
Existing pamphlets
Here are some good pamphlets from the transhumanist student network.

FTA (Finland) told they are preparing a professionally designed leaflet (as of Jan 2006). Russians will be making a number of topical leaflets as well.
