WiserWiki

WiserWiki: "WiserWiki is a wiki that will allow accredited physicians to comment, collaborate and update medical information online and is viewable by everyone. The site was originally seeded with content from John Noble’s “Textbook of Primary Care Medicine” (3rd Edition). We hope to provide a trusted forum for physicians to collaborate and contribute professional-level medical content that can be viewable by everyone. WiserWiki is one example of our commitment to explore innovative tools to help medical professionals access the most up-to-date medical information available. As of now, the site is still in “Beta mode” as we test new ways to make it better for you as a user!"

This is a great idea ! Since the text book is already available in the wiki, many more doctors will be able to edit and contribute to it, to make it better and more reliable and upto-date. Is this the way all text books will be published in the future ?
