Apropos my comment here, what do you guys think of making The Simple Math of Everything a reality?

The LW community probably has a diverse enough group of scholars to cover most of the major fields, and if not, we all have contacts. Splitting it up into sections for different individuals to write would make the project much easier to complete, provided someone is coordinating everything. What do you guys think?

Instead of writing a collection of articles, could we just put together a collection of links? It couldn't be sold, but it would be ready a lot sooner.

Something like this?

I like this idea, actually. I'm sure there's already a lot of great material out there, we just need to put it together.
