In fact, there are some sort of community feedback controled
book writing efforts. The recent one I'm aware is going on
on theserverside.com. The MacPerl book, the Postgres book
was written entirely in this way and you all probably know
of similar efforts. Tough I don't know how these initiatives
could start. incze
