Perhaps you're right. I guess I'm being a little selfish in so far as what I've described is what I'd want, as a potential paying customer. I still want the structure and editing though, so I'm not sure how payment could be distributed to contributors, such as editors. Perhaps my model would be most applicable to those who self-publish without external contributors.
I've looked at the O'Reilly and others deals-of-the-day and ebook promotions and they almost always are to expensive, or are stale.
- pchristensen 16y agoThe ebook deals are about creating a new market (patient, price sensitive buyers)for existing products. Your proposal is for entirely new products, and I think it's unlikely that the existing publishing companies will change enough to produce them. There is something to the idea, and would probably best be done by the communities surrounding open source products. Don't let this idea die.
