Posting a book that's "in progress"

For a while now, I've been thinking about the idea of posting chapters of a book as I write them and inviting comment. I've been particularly thinking about it lately, as I ponder a book that's more ... well ... philosophical than my usual work. (More on that when I've figured out how to express it in words rather than just vague notions and gestures.) Anyway, I must have been thinking too loudly, because today's San Jose Mercury News talks about what happens when authors open texts online for others to edit.

I do think it's going to happen more and more often, as we fully acclimate to "social media".
