Wow! All of these 'donated' authorships is impressive!

I have an idea I was running by Alan Golub earlier, but think it might work
well here as well. Hemingway has the ability to setup websites which are
'templated.' There are many different types of templates, but importantly,
they can be changed easily.

Specific users can be setup to upload 'Chapters' which are then converted to
websites. This can be done on the Mac or PC using the basic Hemingway
browser interface or HemPC (for PC users). Then, using HemingwayPC (sorry
only runs on PC's for now) the chapter websites can be rerendered to PDF's
which can either be downloaded or used for publishing a book. The PDF's have
a complete table of contents, etc..

There are tools for editing images as well. So, it is fairly simple to
create a tutorial like:
http://www.altuit.com/webs/altuit/GlassPhotoShopTutorial/default.htm

or a website like:
http://www.altuit.com/webs/altuit2/RunRev/default.htm

A single web would be considered a chapter. I would manage the usernames and
passwords so anyone wanting to contribute could do so easily.

(btw, the HemPC app is at:)

Any takers?
