Wikibooks talk:Textbook development process

My goal for this page was to start what I hope will become out guideline for creating editions, updates, and open texts as collaborative projects. There has been a lot of discussion in the mail list, but most of it intermixes the mechanics with the concepts. The intent now is for everyone to adjust and expand what little I've started with in terms of concepts to reach a consensus on how we want it to work. Mechanics are important, a we should remember that they may impose limits, but those come after the goals.

What's here as of today is very sketchy, but I don't feel comfortable going much further without input. So, I'm posting it as is. I expect to improve it, and hope you'll join in that effort. Thanks for your patience .... LouI 20:01 27 Jul 2003 (UTC)
