    I am just about to publish a book about developing collaborative intelligence ('Teaching an Anthill to Fetch')under a CC licence - can anyone tell me how I could alert the CC community about this?

    This really is the future.

    I was an editor in the traditional publishing industry for years and after finally getting completely fed up with the constrictions placed upon me, started my own press using Print on Demand technology.

    We're giving our stuff out as PDFs as well, under Creative Commons. The numbers alone have shown me that this is as viable, if not an even *more* viable, method of publishing than the traditional channels.

    Using this stuff I can take books from concept to delivered book in 2-3 weeks, and have stuff completely under creator control and in the public eye all over the internet immediately.

    Creative Commons is *crucial* to this approach and the new horizons opened up by this are not only incredibly exciting, to my mind they signal massive, massive changes to the old way of doing things.

    Welcome to our Common Future. :)

    IF I might suggest it, The Banjo Players Must Die should be worth a nod too!

    May I suggest my YA fantasy novel Mortal Ghost, available in various e-formats, including podcasts? Soon I will also begin serialising and podcasting my new YA F/SF novel Corvus.
