Hi Sophie, thanks for sharing details about what sounds like it will be a fascinating open textbook! I’m excited to see that you’ll be working with Juan on this project, who was not only a professor of mine and @zoe’s at SFU, but also one of the few people who got me involved in open publishing a few years ago. 
I’ve set up your dedicated discussion space, so you’re all set. It can be found here: https://forum.rebus.community/c/open-textbooks-in-development/the-web-content-industries-and-ourselves.
Please check your Direct Messages for additional instructions. And if you need help, post a question in “Help and Questions.”
Looking forward to seeing how you and Juan get on!
