Open writing projects

This page is the Open Writing Projects home page.

The Open Writing Initiative at OpenWetWare is an experiment in the collaborative authoring of books, papers, and other research-related or research-supporting materials. If you're interested in contributing to a project you see here, feel free to contact the author(s). If you're interested in initiating your own project and would like to discuss your ideas, find coauthors, or are looking for a bit of assistance in getting started, contact Lorrie LeJeune (lorrie at openwetware dot org), or join the OpenWriting email list.
