So after seing all this intersting collective effort happening on the web, such as Wikipedia/Dolphin etc., I got the idea of writing an open source novel.
Do you think it would just become a mess, or could it end up as a decent book? I doubt it would be a masterpiece in any way, but it would at least gain the publicity of being "the first ever open source novel" (Unless I'm terribly mistaken here...)
