In my long career, I have always had difficulty finding collaborators to design a common science text. This particularly applies to texts within the domain Research in Mathematics Education.
It would be good if there is a way to enable interested researchers from different academic backgrounds to find out how to collaborate on the design of common scientific texts. I am convinced that people behave unnecessarily restrained. I am convinced that the cooperation of authors from different academic areas can significantly contribute to raising the quality of the prepared text.
One of the possibilities that came to mind is that RG offered such a platform. There are no more 'Articles in progress' options. It could be expanded by opening the possibility for the author to express his desire to get this text profiled in cooperation with another interested researcher. Openness of the option could be valid in a certain real time interval, according to the bidders' selection.
I think many people whose native language is English would want to avoid collaborating on an English-language textbook with someone whose written English is ungrammatical or unidiomatic since that usually means extra work and frustration for the native speaker. A math text per se should not be a problem, but a text that has a lot of verbal explanation to accompany the formalisms might be.
