The site usage policies apply all sorts of restrictions that are structured and controlling (and non-freed), which would be another reservation. What I might suggest is that we look around these types of self-publishing sites for materials that might be useful for teaching open source participation. If we find something, we can approach the author about licensing and obtaining sources. - Karsten -- name: Karsten 'quaid' Wade, Sr. Community Gardener team: Red Hat Community Architecture uri: http://TheOpenSourceWay.org/wiki gpg: AD0E0C41
