So having just finished a book project and therefore having a bit of a clue=
as to what it would take, I'd be willing to take a stab at coordinating= a
project like this.=C2=A0 But it's not clear to me what the audience sho= uld be.
Many of the folks on this list are obsessive with details that matter to, well, only people on this list.=C2=A0 To make a good book I think that it w= ould
have to trace the major paths, innovations, and people.=C2=A0 In any case, = this
would be easy - just write whatever you want and wait for Clem to correct you and fill in the details :-)
