Marvelous idea. It's an extension of something I've been saying for ages--that the documentation should be outsourced and (re)written from the ground up.

This is an opportunity for someone outside PG to write a "BIAB For Dummies" or "BIAB Power"-type manual. Everyone would benefit. PG would not be sidetracked from what they do best--manufacturing an awesome product--everyday users would be let into the inner circle, and some author would stand to make a neat profit from a book that users on all levels--students, hobbyists, and pros--would want to own. It would need to be updated on a regular basis, too, so it could be an ongoing source of income.

By the same token, I'll bet that a librarian is more likely to come out of a dedicated, knowledgeable user than out of PG, who have plenty on their plate.

(Mac--hint, hint.)
