OpenTextBook.org is an effort to create a free textbook using methods developed by the F/OSS community. By open, they mean under the terms of the Gnu Free Documentation License. Currently they only have subversion access and a daily pdf snapshot of the same, which is mostly math but you can help by contributing work, writing, looking at FIXME's or helping port over stuff from the Incoming folder. They are very much going for a book rather than a purely online resource or reference. They are also actively looking to host opened textbooks, or provide resources for their creation. This will be added to Academic Resources 2004-05 Internet MiniGuide.
