That's an interesting idea. My own personal library is manic in
proportion, and I really would like to make better use of it. The
problem would come in trying to list what I have available. :-)
I was happy I am in Thailand in this respect, as in the Netherlands I
still have over a hundred books (mostly 2nd ww) so I only had to list
about 20. We already had the first usefull exchanges in people asking
eachother to look things up. Basically most of us wrote down everything,
from specific dictionaries and encyclopedias through travelguides to
very specific books. We could even have something on Meta ..... the
wikilibrary? the wikisearch?

To scale well, this would be have to searchable by book, wouldn't it?
(Very tedious to look through, say, 50 Wikipedians' user pages just to
see if they have this particular book.) This would be very useful if
it could work..
