High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The USENET Cookbook was an experiment in electronic publishing conducted by Brian Reid in 1985-1987, several years before the Web. Reid distinguishes between electronic printing (the production of individual documents) and electronic publishing (the full process including dissemination). The USENET cookbook was a collaboratively-produced cookbook. Recipes were solicited from contributors worldwide. They were heavily edited for style and content and distributed by email weekly; later, they were distributed on the USENET newsgroup alt.gourmand. Recipes were distributed both as plain ASCII text, and marked up in troff, a widely-available system on Unix systems. Much of Reid's effort was devoted to the workflow aspects of publication.
