Global Text Project: The goal is to create a free library of 1,000 electronic textbooks for students in the developing world
Textbook free for all: Well, it's not an entire free-for-all. Anyone will be able to contribute to the new textbooks, true ? but unlike wikipedia, the online, user-made encyclopedia, only an editor will be able to approve contributions. Otherwise the texts risk being wrong, long and hard to follow, with students being able to fall back on the old "but it's in the text, sir" excuse for wrong answers in their essays.
