Anyone working on Creative Commons School Books?

#“Anyone working on Creative Commons School Books?”

The cost of schoolbooks remains an enormous problem for a lot of people. If you have more than one child, you can rarely do hand-me-downs, particularly in Secondary School. The publishers relentlessly issue new versions that are different enough to make it impossible to have multiple editions in one classroom.

Given that Maths, History, English, Irish, Physics etc, don't actually change much except with curriculum changes, does it not make sense for community-minded Irish educators to work together and generate Creative Commons versions of books? Or is it only we geeks who do things like that?
