Just wanted to check and see if you'd still be interested in participating, and if so, what your areas of interest are. I'm assigning writers to scientists over the next few days.

Robert-
Thanks for getting in touch. Your background sounds perfect. What sort of books have you written? I've attached my second one, which is coming out soon; the last chapter in particular serves as a great introduction to what we're doing overall, while the rest explains to some extent why we're doing it.
When you get a moment, send me a short list of the fields you'd be interested in writing about and I'll put you down as a writer and will eventually pair you with a scientist of compatible background.
I'll have my associate Clark Robinson send you some additional information about Project PM and our fundamental goals, which involve the development and promotion of improved methods of collaboration and information flow. We have a number of documents you might find interesting, and our more active participants tend to congregate in our new IRC channel which itself may be accessed at irc.freenode.net, #projectpm (I recommend Xchat if you're new to IRC, but Clark will send along a short guide including other methods of getting on).
Let me know if you have any questions, and thanks again for participating in this program.

Hello, Mr. Brown;A dKos friend flagged your post for me, and suggested I contact you. I am interested in what you have in mind, and wanted to see if I may be of some assistance.I am a writer and author, and science is my passion. I believe that nothing less than civilization and human survival is at stake in the educating of the blithely ignorant population. Please drop me a note at your convenience.
