Re: [Textbook-l] textbook versioning

Hey LDan, Thanks for your comments. I agree completely that we will need some kind of mechanism to make a static version of a textbook for it to be used in a classroom setting. An early brainstorm that I had was to make a special service for this purpose, where an individual teacher could take a "public" version of a wiki textbook and make it into a limited-editability version for their class. So for that subset of the information, anyone else could see and copy the text materials but to modify it would have to set it up in a different spot. Thats one way I imagined that we could give a bit of stability to the prof ... my dad is an educator so I know how much teachers and schools demand control over their materials, especially in the k-12.
