To help its clients understand everything that goes into publishing an instructable or forum topic, caitlinsdad has put together this awesome infographic showing the whole process, ok, just the highlights. It's all about educating the client, but this is a great glimpse even for consumers who just get the finished instructable and don't have any idea where it comes from or how it is made and why they have to wait so long before they see it published.

See the original forum topic that was the inspiration: www.instructables.com/community/How-to-make-a-book/  Click on the little i icon in the image to change to a larger size to display.
