Recently I was thinking about the idea of doing some sort of community generated book that is based on contributed content from the public.

The idea comes as a result of recent publishing deals from http://thisiswhyyourefat.com/ and http://petswhowanttokillthemselves.com/

Both of these sites are comedy based sites which are based solely on user uploaded pictures.

Regarding a Linux or Ubuntu based book such as Ubuntu Apps, user contribution could play a role in improving future versions of  Ubuntu Apps or other other books.

The idea is to have users make contributions or suggestions via some sort of interface such as a forum, blog, wiki or some other type of interface.

If anyone has any suggestions for what type of interface to use, feel free to post it here in the comments section.
