Being open is a positive principle on many levels: it improves quality, it provides the building blocks for innovation on top of current products and processes by understanding how they work, it builds security and trust because we know what is being done behind the veil, and it facilitates participation because we can see into the mechanics of a project and find a way to participate...

articles · Sharing on the Social Web
by Paul Jacobson · voted on 13/5/2008 22:04 · 27 votes · no comments
The Social Web (aka Web 2.0) is about three things: listening, conversing and sharing. Of the three, sharing is perhaps the most relevant in the context of the Commons in part because it is about sharing content, something that is almost taken for granted these days. Anyone who is active on the Social Web is familiar with a myriad content sharing sites ranging from Flickr (photo...

At the end of March 2008, United States District Judge Stephen G. Larson issued a decision which in the eyes of many provided a long overdue vindication for...

by Daniela Faris · commented on 5/2/2008 01:31 · 35 votes · 3 comments
This month we take a closer look at the host of communities using Mediawiki software to collaboratively document information and collect media, on a variety of
different subjects, ranging from song lyrics to textbooks. The emphasis of this article is not necessarily on the amount of contributors or entries or the
