IGDA White Paper
The IGDA (International Game Developers Association) has just released the 2006 Casual Games White Paper. It’s 113 pages chock full of wisdom and facts about the casual games biz - check it out.
They’ve also put up most (all?) of the content of the white paper on a wiki, which seems to be getting a fair amount of continual updating by various contributors.

Thanks for linking this Phil. We posted the paper last Monday night but didn’t want to start announcing it (beyond Casuality) until we could get all the final edits back out from the PDF version to the Wiki. I finished that process this afternoon, and it looks like you’re the first to publicize it!
One quick note, your wiki link goes to the Recent Changes page instead of the actual white paper page which is here:

I’d like to strongly encourage everyone who reads it to contribute back to the community knowledge by updating anything appropriate within the wiki.
