Wiki Textbooks

I am a first year superintendent and have a couple of teachers that want to write their own textbooks by using our state standards as the format. Does anyone have knowledge of the Core Knowledge curriculum as a supplement to our standards. Also I was going to purchase them a couple of wiki books to get them started but any help would be greatly appreciated. Also sources that we could look at would be nice.
