I'm currently converting the PRD into an ebook at https://github.com/nasfarley88/pathfinder-prd-markdown by using pandoc and markdown. Very soon, I'll be looking for help in the effort so if this is something you want for yourself, leave a message here, or if you know git, clone the repo.
There are going to be a few ways to help:
1) Beta testers: read through the epub files on your device and pick out problems (i.e. forgetting a space between words, a character that looks wierd, a table that doesn't scale correctly). This requires no knowledge of git/markdown/programming so is ideal for people that like this idea and want to do something to help.
2) Formatting: When pandoc converts from html, often tables don't come out right, and little things are off. These obviously need fixing. I use emacs to do a lot of the work for me, but human intervention is still needed.
3) Conversion: This is a simple task if you've done it before, but has quite a steep learning curve. Basically, the task is to convert html to markdown using pandoc, and then begin formatting. The reason this is separate from formatting is that if something goes 'wrong' at this stage, it's much more difficult to fix later (although once you know how to do it right, there is little room for error).
Everything is not set in stone yet, but it should be ready by the end of the week for people to contribute. Who's interested?
