We need international participation to help ensure our efforts are useful to people everywhere. We need people willing to participate in a Technical Advisory Board to help us guide our efforts. We need involvement from academia, industry and governments to help us enrich this effort without bounds and make available a first-rate, freely available information utility. We need involvement from publishers who have materials which can be included in the Online Book Repository. Many books and reference works become unprofitable to publish by ordinary paper means.
Standards are critical to our efforts.
