Print on demand publishing is something that is coming. This means that you
print just as many books you need when you need them. This should be
practical for those who want to publish their own books.

Publishing on the web might not be the best idea. It will strain printer
resources on the universities involved. It could perhaps be better to print
your own unbound books. Perhaps it would be cheaper? Perhaps one would
produce smaller, to the point volumes? Perhaps there could be cooperation
between universities to get a discount on printing?

If one uses a standardized environment (e.g. LaTeX) to produce the book, one
should be able to have some synergy with other authors. e.g. with regards to
formatting of code, conversion to pdf, etc.

Perhaps a new publisher would be in order? E.g. Chartwell-Bratt
(?)/studentlitteratur which produces low priced books.
