Scott Leslie has wrapped up his series of OER / ebook authoring tools with two posts, part three on an authoring technique called 'book sprints', and part four on 'the rest'. Note at the bottom of part four the suggestion to look also at Book Type. "A book sprint 'brings together a group to produce a book in 3-5 days. There is no pre-production and the group is guided by a facilitator from zero to published book. The books produced are high quality content and are made available immediately at the end of the sprint via print-on-demand services and e-book formats.'" My first reaction is that I would find a book sprint to be an agonizing experience (mostly because my take on just about everything is very much at odds with most people's) but that could just be my inborn anti-sociality speaking.
