If:book has a post on a procedure Larry Lessig used to update “Code and Other Laws of Cyberspace.” I have a copy of the original (published in 1999) buried somewhere on a shelf. The topics while still relevant required work because Lessig’s writing explores legal issues (laws change) and technology (change happens here too). After a time in print, Lessig released his book as a wiki and allowed readers to edit, comment, etc. Lessig then took this body of material and wrote Code V2. To be fair to contributors and also because he suggests that a copy of the new book would be cheaper than printing the wiki, the wiki version of the updated book is also available. Lessig is in a very different situation than many authors, but I really like the idea of building reader particiaption into the authoring process.
