hi

I guess I cant tempt wikibooks to use twiki? long shot right? 

with twiki u can generate pdf from multiple books (remixing chapters
from multiple books into 1 book), with a linked table of contents etc,
it also attaches a cover of your choice and generates the copyright
notices and attachs the license.....it does a nice job

no?
