Current status: alpha. It now should be possible to immediately understand the goals of the website just by looking at it. Now we have to make article editing much much more user friendly. See also: Section 3. "Action plan".
Mission: live in a world where you can learn university-level mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology and engineering for free whenever you want from perfect open source books made for free by random people who want to get famous to get better paying jobs.
How to get there: create a website that incentivizes learners (notably university students taking courses) to write freely licensed university-level natural science books for free. Their motivation for doing that are:
- getting their knowledge globally recognized and thus better jobs
- improving the world
- learning by teaching
