How should drafts be posted for review? Thanks, Ben! I'd suggest putting them in the OSI wiki for review/discussion; I've sent you an account invite. I also created this page you can use: http://wiki.opensource.org/website_case_for_business And a project page at for anyone else who wants to jump in: http://wiki.opensource.org/website_improvements Someone else has also volunteered to help out; I'll let them introduce themselves when they want to :) Luis ___ License-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://projects.opensource.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/license-discuss

[License-discuss] Some suggested writing projects to improve opensource.org: call for volunteers
Hi, all- Would anyone like to take on the task of reviewing and updating the various educational materials we have on the site? I was pointed at some of this recently, and while none of it is embarassingly dated as the history page I revised last year, some of it is pretty lacking. I'm thinking in particular: - lack of a single page that defines what open source is. It has been suggested that http://opensource.com/resources/what-open-source and http://onlamp.com/pub/a/onlamp/2005/09/29/what-is-free-software.html might be good references in drafting this page. - bibliography that is quite solid, but judging from the age of the books, not updated since 2005: http://opensource.org/links - "case for business" that refers to "Frank Hecker of Netscape": http://opensource.org/advocacy/case_for_business.php Frank hasn't been with "Netscape" in over a decade, or Mozilla for four years. - We lack a good HOWTO for applying licensing information. Such a thing could link to SFLC's guide on the subject (or Karl's brief one in Producing OSS) but should be useful on its own. Anyone game for producing drafts of these? Thanks in advance!
