 ## Plan
 This project will create an update pipeline for these ebooks by implementing update hooks in a variety of open source ebook authoring systems.

 ### Team
 This project will attempt to scale this approach by implementing update hooks in a number of open-source ebook authoring tools. As the tools are based on different software environments, this project will need a team with a variety of programming skills.
