(please excuse corruption of url; I have no control over the spam filter.)<br>
<br>
I do not have any experience with Wikibooks, so I defer to those who<br>
have.<br>
<br>
So, should we start our own wiki, or should we work with Wikibooks?<br>
<br>
the existing latex wikibook is apparently pretty "popular", or at least<br>
frequently referenced, so I think an effort should be made to clean it up.<br>
(I've tried to submit some updates, but been refused because, it seems,<br>
whoever judges such things doesn't know who I am or think very much<br>
of my credentials.) I'm willing to be "assigned" some sections that I can<br>
edit (in my "vft" = voluminous free time) and turn over the actual update<br>
suggestions to someone "authorized". by "assigned", I mean that it would<br>
be a good idea to establish a register of the contents of the wikibook, and<br>
have people sign up formally to work on segments, so that there's not<br>
duplication of effort. divide and conquer.<br>
<br>
that said, I'm not opposed to a separate wiki, but think that it would be<br>
best to have a different focus. reasonable topic for discussion, I think.<br>
<br>
(I'm a rotten teacher, but good at spelling and catching errant commas.<br>
if I can contribute that, I'm willing.)<br>
