Those were very much my thoughts too - = that porting a regularly updated open source formatted book into a propriet= ary format was going to be awfully tough to keep up with. =A0However, unlik= e apps, I think iBooks are static once published. =A0Authors don't push= out a v1.x update after the fact. =A0With this in mind it's probably s= till worth forking the next stable CLL major version and porting it, perhap= s even embedding an errata section by use of a web view that points back to= the github repo in case of any major boo-boos.

I was just looking into the idea of creating a CLL iBook as well!=
The problem that I see is that iBooks Author doesn't appear to play ver= y nicely with the idea of streaming data in from other files. Which means t= hat it's not really possible to script "convert the source files i= nto an iBook", but rather each change made to the source files would h= ave to be manually made to the iBook as well. Which is going to rapidly bec= ome painful. Further looking into is required however, as it would be a tru= ly incredible platform to use.
