Well, a little bit off topic, though...

I would do the following: Set up an etherpad (piratepad) with the
index you just wrote, and put other piratepad addresses with each
chaptor behind the index. (create those, obviously, as well).

Then just announce it. Ask ppl to first find content on the web for
each of those. Is there an installation guide on installing
openSUSE? Trow in the link in that piratepad. Once we have a few, we
can use the content to write for the course.

Hmmm, Jos seems to like EtherPad. So do I. ;-)

Since EtherPad itself was bought by Google and the source code has been
opened, many EtherPad clone sites have been replicated. Among those
clones, I'd recommend iEtherPad.
http://ietherpad.com/

Unlike other EtherPad clones, iEtherPad allows you to create your own
team site, like *opensuse-foo.ietherpad.com*. Besides, you can create a
pad and give it the name you want (on most of the other EtherPad clone
sites, a random pad name is generated by the system when you create a
new pad and you have to use it anyway).

We, openSUSE Weekly News Japanese Translation team, are now using
iEtherPad for translating OWN. The name of the team site is
ownja.ietherpad.com (ownja = *o*penSUSE *W*eekly *N*ews *Ja*panese) and
you can see for example our work on iEtherPad at:
http://ownja.ietherpad.com/136
# This is the pad for translating OWN issue 136 into Japanese.

Although iEthrePad is run by an individual and has some minor problems,
these advantages are tempting. If you like EtherPad and haven't tried
iEtherPad yet, I strongly recommend you to use it. ;-)

Best,
