What do you mean by "real publisher"? As long as the quality of the final product is good, does it really matter what publishing company has their name stamped on it?
It matters to me; if I'm going to put work into this, then that's what I want the result to be. I'm happy, of course, for projects that I am not involved in to use whatever publishing mechanisms that the people involved in those projects prefer. If you want to help with the writing project that I have in mind, then discuss that on the list. If you want to start another writing project whose primary goal is to produce an open-content, electronic book, then announce that on the list too. If you want to debate the merits of open-content versus traditional publishing, well, I'd love to have that debate too, but this list probably isn't the right forum for that.
