Good idea - have you considered a wiki however? Open the floodgates, annotate the thing with original posts, whatever.

Peak Oil and associated needs a good wiki.

that's one reason we moved to drupal, and it's in the plans. If someone has any experience with drupal, wiki, and/or related workings...drop us a note. (I know we've asked before, but we're actually closer to implementation now.)

I agree that this sounds like a perfect job for a wiki. For one, it makes it very easy to share the burden among several contributors. For two, it is easy to update. Having maintained documentation as HTML and PDFs, usually via Latex, and integrated into a wiki, there is no contest. The wiki wins.
