Hi all, I will be honest -- I haven't contributed ANYTHING yet. This is entirely because I haven't had the chance to sit down and fiddle with LaTeX and didn't know what to work on even if I did.
There was an idea that Benjamin had mentioned, ages ago, about an integrated website where a user could click on a paragraph and be able to "edit" it. I'd assume this would be more a submission of an edit suggestion which would then be sent to a reviewer. If there were a different way to edit the text, before putting it into LaTeX for the publishing, that would probably make everything A LOT easier. Perhaps using that site that you were using for shared meeting notes? If people were willing to take on specific roles, like one person is in charge of writing about one chapter, another in charge of writing another chapter, then some different people are in charge of checking that the content is correct, another for style-editing those chapters for style consistency. Then once the content is written, someone else is in charge of doing the screenshots and another person is in charge of doing the LaTeX markup of the text... you get the idea. A central editor who's in charge of only keeping track of who is doing what and keeping an eye on scheduling would make it go a lot more smoothly. Really, it's just organisation, and making it easy for that initial writing and editing to happen, then having a couple people just focussing on making the LaTeX work after all the content is done. Does that sound possible?
