Yes, this is a good idea.  We were talking about this on #moose
yesterday and the idea of having TPF fund book writing via grants might
be a good way to get docs.  The author gets $2000 for writing a
half-length book (say, 150 pages), the community gets a freely-licensed
book to do whatever they want with.  If you want a printed copy, you can
donate money (say, $10) back to TPF.

I will probably look into this more seriously in the near future.  Right
now this is pure fantasy :)
