MC Book-other ideas

[TBleiler at aol.com]

The fastest way to get such a book would be for members of this list to 
submit their solutions to various challenges to an editor(s). If someone with 
good writing skills could volunteer to be the editor, that would be great. 

Another way might be to "write the book" through this list. Many of us would 
have to do a little work, but that might be more practical than one of us 
trying to find the time to do a lot of work. To begin, we'd have to come up 
with a list of chapters; there was a good start in an earlier post. Then, 
people who "know the answers" could post their solutions. One of the people 
who understands the content and can write fairly well would have to volunteer 
to consolidate the solutions into a chapter. They could then post the chapter 
for review by the members of the list. If this is deemed an inappropriate use 
of the list, most of the work could be shifted off list. Think of it as open 
source book writing.
