Thanks for the answer, and the pointer to those books! I hadn't really thought about the layout challenges.
Though I think the benefit would be less about just releasing the source, though the Open Data Structures book makes a compelling case for that, but fostering collaboration on the content. The books you mention have overlapping content and my heart really wants to join them in some glorious whole :)
Maybe that's crazy, the books clearly have different styles, but I feel like writing more advanced texts as extensions to an evolving intro book would be better for self-learners than just having the books stand alone.

FYI, the link to your course materials on http://opendatastructures.org/ seems to be broken now.
