The Open Text Book blog was started a few days ago by the Open Knowledge Foundation. In their first post, they describe the blog as:
a place to list and keep track of news about textbooks that are open in accordance with the Open Knowledge Definition – i.e. free to use, reuse, and redistribute. While in the future we may post text book content, for now the site will be mainly used as a registry.
I like how this is gaining momentum. There are certain subjects that would benefit greatly from open texts, and I suspect we shall see more of these over the next few years.
