Lawrence Lessig and the New Publishing Paradigm
For the last year or so, Stanford Law professor and Creative Commons founder Lawrence Lessig has been writing his follow-up book to Code online, in a collaborative experiment hosted by JotSpot. It has involved over 400 people and has developed a kind of hierarchial structure complete with "chapter captains".

Stanford Magazine printed a story about it a few months ago, wherein we read:

“Part of what makes this exciting is the motley group of contributors,” says project director Jake Wachman, a senior majoring in science, technology and society. “An expert in intellectual property law could be editing alongside a high school student with a passion for copyright cases. And that student could be more on-point and make better edits. At least that’s the hope.”

The Wiki won't host the final version of Code v2. Instead, it will be published in the traditional way (Basic Books), with the profits going to Creative Commons. Lessig plans for the Wiki to continue as a living document, which, in turn, may make the third version of the book a very simple task indeed.
