Professors to distribute wiki textbooks free
This story describes the "Global Text Project" (details here).This is a voluntary/philanthropic project so far, but the article reveals how slowly it is progressing. Could there be a venture opportunity here? The professors' approach is very different from a true entrepreneurial approach.
With the wiki editing feature, the texts could be written by authors in the developing world, at minimal cost, if top editors could be enlisted. Could it be monetized to cover the cost of those editors and writers, in stead of relying on donations and potential corporate logo placement?
