Publishing 2.0 is new way of publishing books. It is in fact evolution of traditional methods in the same way as web 2.0 evolved from the old web. The main point is to publish your work, get feedback from users and constantly improve content quality. So simple, yet opens entirely new horizons for many publishers. I think that this idea would be very fruitful both for authors and readers. Recently I have seen an online book where users post their comments under each paragraph. Maybe it would be possible to implement artificial intelligence algorithms to automate content updating from readers' comments?
