Wiki-style textbooks to aid poorer nations

Since Danny and I are starting this open license children’s music project this fall, he sent me this link to a free online textbook project.:

Wiki-style textbooks to aid poorer nations - tech - 01 September 2006 - New Scientist Tech Watson has recruited about 80 academics from the US and other countries to his Global Textbook project. It will produce free online textbooks using technology similar to that behind online reference work Wikipedia.

Interestingly enough, my publisher, Sense Publishing, allows free PDF downloads of their books, so lots of people are ‘making them free’.
