Raw Paleo collaborative book
majormark:
This book can easily be done in a collaborative way and it does not have to be 10000 pages long, covering all aspects of human history. It is intended to capture the essence of RPD so that a newbie does not need to browse through endless topics to find the basic stuff.
All we have to do is each pick a chapter and at least make a short sketch of it. I mean just the principal ideas and a short description. Next we can develop them and put them together in a meaningful way.
If you have just an idea that you think should go into any of the listed chapters, just write it here and we could integrate it. Have you seen the movie Inception? :).
So, who wants to pick a chapter, there is a limited stock offered ;).
I'll pick the Preface.
PS: we can use Google Docs to centralize these ideas.
PS2: I was thinking of a catchy title, like "RPD The Forgotten Secrets" :)

Why not attach this thread to the beginning of the thread list as a permanent feature (I think it is called a stickie).
Sounds like a great way to keep the forum on topic also. Having said that newbie questions are often the best as that is what wuffos ask.
majormark:
Good idea with the sticky topic. Will someone make it sticky?
I created 3 public documents for the book (anyone can edit):

It would be great if the links would be in the first post as well.

I wouldn't mind helping. :)

Good work, Majormark. I had the same thought after I encountered a collaborative e-book created by a forum some time ago, but I feel like I still have more to learn before I can write much of a book, but maybe I could contribute some.
The food combining / mono eating chapter should probably mention that it's a controversial idea within raw Paleo circles. From what I've seen, those concepts seem mostly like bunk from the Natural Hygiene, vegetarian, and raw vegan movements, though I'm open to any hard evidence someone might provide.
If I contribute anything I'd like to keep the right to also use it in my potential future book.
