Michael, That seems a very good and generous idea! It could initially be posted on your site, except that it should also be indefinitely available. The pdf should have hyperref, and perhaps there should be a complete version and also a parcelled version, so that wiki and Planet Math could have links to specific parts. What do you think?

The three books I have authored or co-authored all contain a chapter of about 40 pages that is an introduction to category theory. They are largely identical (the one for Acyclic Models has a an added section on categories of fractions, needed for that book). The one in TTT is already freely available and, with Charles's permission, I would happily post that in whatever place you would like.
