I had been a dial-up user for a while (Thanks to German Telecom using glass fiber up to that magic last mile.).

Ahh yes, I allways wanted to write a Book about programming. In fact I think wiki is a good start. As for legalities: You can allways use your own contributions for whatever you want. At least thats my impression. But then I live in continental europe where we have "Urherberrecht" and not "Copyright". (One is the rights of the Author the other the right to copy - important difference: The rights of the Author cannot be taken away from you.)
