The author of a howto book about the free Asterisk VoIP software invites all and sundry to review his work before publication. Heise.de reports that German Asterisk consultant Stefan Wintermeyer has put the book up on his website, and is asking for bug reports. (Sorry, all in German.)
He's going even further: The whole book, due around February, will be published under the GNU FDL. It will be available in stores for about EUR 50.-, as well as gratis via download. Wintermeyer considers this an experiment, hoping that people will buy hardcopies anyway, or in even greater numbers.
Makes sense. When I was struggling with LaTeX, I always had the LaTeX Companion on hand, despite abundant online help being available. The money spent for that book was a very good investment, and I'd choose the same route for any other serious project I'm working on.
