Hello tech enthusiasts, org45 has made this product to gather crowd funding on knowledge. We don't need any monetary funding for this one as it runs on free netlify servers. Idea is to create a kids friendly Computer Science book based on the inputs from the community. This is just a template, I am hopeful that we will make possible modifications on syllabus and content in the days to come. Do you think such crow-sourced book is a good idea ?

I like the concept. I would like to write a chapter when I am free. But I am not sure if I can send a PR as I am new to Github.

@ravi_paudel2 Thanks. We do have a section on Github on how writers can collaborate on the platform. But yeah for someone from non technical background we will definitely write more steps on documentation as soon as possible.

Huge congrats to the team on today's launch! I love the collaborative twist on a traditional CS book - getting kids excited about coding is a win! How do you envision the community of CS enthusiasts contributing to the book - will there be regular updates with new chapters or exercises from various contributors?

@ihuzaifashoukat Actually the chapters for now are already listed on our Github repo. But yeah if someone wants to revise or even add few new ones then we will have discussion. Thats a certain and obvious flexibility we do have being a crowdsourced book platform.
