Editing strategy for the Paragogy book

Charlie: ''Also, maybe its too soon, but any chance we could get an etherpad installed on paragogy.net and put an entire draft of the book on there? Give ppl a chance to edit with a BIG disclaimer that their contributions are CC0.''

Joe: ''Etherpad editing: it will definitely be fun to do some editing with us, and yeah, I imagine it would be a cool party to invite other people to. A sort of textual hackathon. Nice idea!''


 * Of course we should probably start by conducting an AAR for the November writing project.
 * Since I know that a lot of what I wrote was rather poor, here are a few animated gifs that might be useful for sending a message:

 * It would be good to read the book carefully (or ask some friendly person to read it) and try to summarize the basic themes, then maybe re-outline it so that things can be moved into place in a nice way.
 * Note that there have been about 3500 page views on paragogy.net so far -- if 10% of those people had bought a book with a $10 margin, we'd have $350 to spend already! Yay!  I think this is worth keeping in mind: if we get something out there, we can ask people for their contributions. For example, set up an email address associated with the book, and people who send mail to this email address may have their edits or contributions included in later editions.
 * If we installed these extensions http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Semantic_MediaWiki and http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Semantic_Multi_Edit_Extension then we ought to be able to edit multiple pages in one form -- which could be a nice way to work.
