Jack,
I agree. IMHO, the best way to improve accessibility with these texts,
would be to come up with a way to attach keywords to any paragraph, sub
chapter, or chapter of these books. When a user started searching for a
particular subject, the search engine would not only find the paragraphs
in the texts with the keywords in them, but it would also find
paragraphs where other readers had attached keywords which point out
that the specific paragraph has some relevance to the keywords that the
user is searching for. I believe that this simple step would
dramatically change the effectiveness of keyword searches, particularly
for novice users who do not know the "jargon"

while the wiki is an essential part, i still think there remains a
need for texts written in a single mind. it would be a shame if the
great texts that come with j were to suffer from lack of
accessability. and some need a little udpating now and then.
