AIM Open Textbooks in Mathbook XML Workshop (almost live updates)

David Farmer, Rob Beezer and others are developing an open markup language, Mathbook XML, to typeset mathematical texts in a way that facilitates publication in a variety of formats (e.g. html, pdf, e-book).  As part of that development, they seek authors willing to engage the new platform and provide feedback for development.

The American Institute of Mathematics is hosting a workshop with the developers and open texbook authors this week that is focused around open textbooks and Mathbook XML.  Rob Beezer and Tom Judson are both posting daily reports on the workshop at their blogs:

• http://www.beezers.org/blog/bb/ (Beezer)

The posts so far have been pretty informative.  I wish I was there.
