"This book has an unusual development design. The content is open-sourced, meaning anyone can be an author. Authors submit content or revisions using the GitHub interface." What a wonderful thing -- this book looks fantastic, but the approach to making it really takes the cake. I really hope interactive notebooks (iPython based or otherwise) and multiple authors collaborating on Github will become widespread.
