speaking of the Simple Math of Everything, that sounds like a great Less Wrong community project, no? I have no idea what the money from sales would be used for - maybe donations to SIAI or something.

Agreed, fully!

This should be discussed in a top level post. Such a document would be a valuable contribution to the intellectual world.

A wikibook might be a good medium for this kind of community project. The LaTeX book gives an example of how well these can turn out.
