OT: publication of iris-talk?

Hey, iris-talkers,

Since this will be my first year hybridizing and I'm hungry for 
information, I have, since finding the iris-talk e-group, printed out 
everything relevant to my project, going all the way back to the 
group's inception in 1998.  I have compiled it all in a FAT notebook 
getting fatter, divided by subject, such as ON HYBRIDIZING, CULTURE, 
REBLOOMERS, PROVEN PARENTS, SEEDS AND SEEDLINGS, etc.  And it has 
occured to me that other iris fanatics might be as interested as I in 
this information -- which is virtually impossible to get in book form.

At first I thought to suggest half-humorously that we publish the 
collection as I book.  But since, I've thought that such a book, 
published by the AIS, might be valuable to all the novices in the 
field and profitable for the AIS to sell through their storefront.  
Everyone would have to okay the use of their contribution(s), of 
course; but being an editor as well as a writer, I'd be happy to do 
whatever editing and linking and organizing the contributions would 
need to be readable as a book.

What do others think?  Having looked everywhere for such information, 
and finding it only here, I think there might be real interest in it -
-for hobby gardeners as well as those wanting to take it further.
