well i guess it could start as a wiki and then every so often a "hardcopy" could be created (as in a version) and put up for download. That way it can edited and still be transfered pretty easily. I wasn't planning anything official for licensing/copyright, i just wanted to start a grass roots project to create an e-book.

The problem with the wiki, is i can't host a site, nor do i wish to pay for one to be hosted. Also as i said before i don't want an entire site to get taken down and have to try to recover bits (like overgrow).

BTW-Thanks for the ideas
