But she's done a excellent job with help from editor Jim McClennan and designer <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20190214000723/http://www.nicolarowlands.co.uk/" target="_blank">Nicola Rowlands</a>. Its an fantastic piece of work I think you will agree.It also serves as a very fitting tribute to the endless efforts of the many staff, friends, hackers, developers, designers, critics, etc, etc of the project over the last half decade.</p> <p>There is plenty of background information in the ebook including those playground servers, the amazing array of prototypes and some real interesting points about the nature hacking... maybe someone should <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20190214000723/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backstage.bbc.co.uk">update wikipedia</a> with some of the information?</p> <p>Ladies and Gentlemen, I'm really happy to present the Backstage Ebook:Hacking the BBC, a backstage retrospective.
