Perhaps we need a 'similar projects' page on the wikitext site?
We are
currently working on the website and the
interactive tools with which individual
textbook projects
will be developed. We'll make a more formal announcement
when there is more ware and less vapor.
We could probably help them with that, and *fast*. We have
software, after all, and an enthusiastic community.
I recommend visiting the
inlimine.org main website. It's sort of
interesting. It looks like it's basically a couple who are trying to
do various things and who have gotten funding for something else, but
no funding for their textbook project.
We have the huge benefit of not waiting for funding before just
randomly working on stuff that interests enough people. :-)
Jimmy: Have you been in any more contact with those
Cali
folks, the Creative Commmons fellow or anyone else?
The Cali guy emailed me and said he was busy and would email later. I
chat with Larry Lessig from time to time, but haven't talked to him
*lately*. He's excited about the textbook project using a creative
commons license.
