Good point!

Hard copy/print guides obviously can't do this but Online and eGuides have the potential to do so. In the case of digital versions it may depend in the long run on whether the author has the energy, or incentive, to keep maintaining the database of information. We have probably all seen examples where an author has run out of steam or been overtaken by other priorities (eh Peter M?)

So the collaborative approach, as demonstrated lately by ACA, may be the way to go. Spread the workload, reduce the risk of individual burnout, and increase the base of opinion, knowledge, and experience behind the information.
