In all due time. We are still working out /really/
basic things like license issues, name, software needs
and basic policies on what to even have in our
project.

For now, just search for open/free textbooks and email
their authors - hopefully some of them will decide to
continue development of their textbook here. I'm sure
others will grant us use of their textbooks under the
GNU FDL (for cases where their textbooks are not
already under that license).

But let's mainly concentrate on establishing the
basics first. We will get mentioned in the upcoming
Wikimedia Foundation press release, but we will be
mostly an aside until we actually have something
impressive to show off - such as our first feature
complete textbook.
