Like it. Some of the things the site could include:

early release of drafts
guide to licencing/intro to Creative Commons and related documetation licences
the process of receiving edits
building a community around the work

The content from the site could easily include material from James Simmon's excellent [http://www.archive.org/details/EBookEnlightenment guide to publishing ebooks] using open methods.

0	Great idea, Tim. I'm planning a text camp for 13th August 2011, and the writing of a guide to licencing would be a great activity for that. Cheers, James (OpenLit working group) link solved 20 Jul '11, 10:04 jameshs 1 accept rate: 0%
