Totally agree about textbooks. Well put. Conventional textbook publishers already use collaborations. At the same time, I hope that the K-12 and library worlds will reach aout to the Wikipedia folks to help on QC matters and expand production (how about students even writing for students--with proper supervision and QC?). Thanks, as usual, for your thoughts. TeleBlog traffic has gone up, and I wouldn't be surprised if the quality of the comments contributed to that! - David Hi, Branko. Totally agree about textbooks.

After all, what could be more natural than a bunch of teachers sitting down together and creating lecture material?
