Stanford law professor Lawrence Lessig is revising his best selling book on digital media and the law with the help of a wiki. Lessig is pioneering a new form of authorship here, in which organizations, rather than lone authors (or editor-selected contributors), write books. If it works for the online encyclopedia Wikipedia, why not for a book?
Lessig Revises Book With Public Wiki: Silent_E writes "Always wanted to see your words in print? The San Jose Mercury News is reporting that Lawrence Lessig is revising his book 'Code and Other Laws of Cyberspace' using a wiki-based, public discussion. The proceeds from the sale of the book are being donated. . All royalties are going to Creative Commons, plus the advance. "
