How to use this wiki to collaborate on book plans

We are using this wiki to specify the following for the edited book on information markets:

1. Title of the book;
2. Titles of chapters in the book;
3. Brief descriptions of the contents of chapters in the book; and
4. Assignment of authors to chapters in the book.

These hyperlinks help you navigate to wiki pages that contain our best "collective" thinking about each topic. Each wiki page is entirely editable by every person who logs into this site. Therefore, modify wiki pages as you see fit. Add pages, as necessary. The criteria for editing wiki pages: Make things more precise; make things clearer; and make things better. Fix the ideas! Heck, fix the spelling! You have the authority to make changes. And, if you are committed to this book project, you have the responsibility to pitch in and make these plans better. BUT ...you need a password. Want to get into the wiki site and help out? Send mail to David L. Passmore to request the site password that will allow you to edit this wiki collaboratively.
