[Phys-L] Wiki physics texts



I just learned about a collection of books from the people who brought
us the Wikipedia. There are current over 10,000 books, including about
20 in physics (ranging from high school to grad school level). The idea
is to create a set of free books that anyone can use.

Have other people seen this? Any opinions? It seems like a laudable
goal with a decent start. I'm sure we could find plenty to quibble
about - with "sig figs" or "heat" or such - but the little bit I looked
at seemed OK. Perhaps this would be a good place for the output of the
Phys-L discussions. Someone summarizes our consensus and posts it at
the Wiki page.
