The time is a bit past for me to have said, "Does anyone want to drive
making the next version of the textbook happen?  If not, I'll do it."

So, consider that question asked.  Honestly, since it was clear Greg
couldn't do this next version, I just figured I'd be doing it.  Sorry
that I just proceeded without checking in first.

Here is where we're starting to coalesce what we know of the past,
what we've heard about where it take the textbook next, and what work
any of us have done so far in terms of getting it to that direction:

The 'we' is, so far, Mel and I recollecting from our meeting with Tim
Budd and Carlos Jensen at OSU, and our other experiences, and what Mel
knows aobut textbook creation.

Some more materials landing there later from our EtherPad work today.

Here is where things are going to be happening in terms of content
work landing.

Thoughts?

Are all authors available to do some work on their chapters?  We need
to reverse engineer to derive the learning objectives for those
chapters.  I'll start with the Documentation chapter.

I'm thinking of using the S-K-A method from the MIT article (not just
because it sounds like 'ska').  However, I am so wide open to the
expert opinions on this list that I look like Da Vinci's Vitruvian
Man.
