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.
