Great!!

I suspect that we will move towards a chapter with a general intro and then
sections done by each contributor.

It may me a good idea for each contributor to think of a paragraph
describing what they want to say and we'll try to hack a framework that
glues it together.

We'll probably include things like:
* citizen science
* personal science (like SNPS)
* self-aggregating communities (such as Open Malaria)
* information-driven science
* citizen analysis of public science data.

etc.
