I'm not totally convinced about that way of doing things. If you apply that to data on Backstage, we would have to build something like or better that Yahoo Pipes to allow people to remix our data. The tools offline are better that online, also the backstage community is made up of people who are technically advanced, so really we should just be putting the data/media out and allow people to use what fits them. Who knows what you guys might do to the data/media

In effect this would allow the BBC to be a Online Public Service Developer, Producer and Publisher/Broadcaster. -- Michael Walsh Mobile: +44-(0)771-2524200 Mobile: +353-(0)85-1278212 Email: [email protected] Web: http://www.digitalrightsmanifesto.com Blog: http://digitalrightsmanifesto.wordpress.com
