[p2p-research] p2p in action: how about a peer book award?

[Tomas Rawlings]

There are lots of book awards, the Booker springs to mind - so I was 
thinking how would a p2p book award work (and if this is a good idea, 
I'll turn the discussion into a post...)
I guess from a starting point we could have an award for a book about p2p
As a second there is the selection and judging process - which naturally 
would be done by p2p...

So here's an idea;

Criteria - fiction and non-fiction; any format ebook, PDF (though how do 
we judge difference between a long article and a book - and does it 
matter?), comics must be published or re-issued within last 12 months.

Selection - people propose books for the first round.  To pass into the 
second we'd take the book that are 'seconded' by the most number of 
people in the group.  This would give us say 5 books in each category 
that go forward.

Judging - then other people who have not proposed, seconded or read the 
finalists get a copy of the book and read them then come to a 
consensuses of the winner...

What do people think?
