Uhm....maybe :) For "free culture" we can probably find something like a definition from Lessig. I'm pretty sure Participatory Culture doesn't have a definition. As I was thinking about these things I found myself liking the term Participatory Culture more and more. Because why is having freedom- and open- things important? Open source software is not most important so that we can read the source. It's most important because we have the freedom to change it. Wikipedia is not most important because it's available freely. It's most important because we can edit, we can change it. CC of course includes licenses that are neither Free nor Participatory - any NoDerivatives clause sees to that. But there is significant overlap of course. Anyway as I said I'm not super sold on any title just yet... > Anyway, does anyone else think the end of December isn't much time, > with the amount proposed?

Well, the good thing is that it is a collection of distinct topics. And each topic will only be 1 A5 page (maybe 2 max). So if we don't finish that many topics, then we just make it a smaller booklet. No worries... 2008/11/19 Liam Wyatt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > On another note: in the primer planning page - > http://wikimedia.org.au/wiki/Participatory_Culture_Primer > What is the significance of the "T= technology, G= government C=culture, > E=education" Oh, I was just trying to see if I could roughly group topics, then they could be arranged in different sections. Don't think that was very successful. There's too much overlap! > In your terminology - do you need a free (beer) v. Free (speech) comparison? Not sure what you mean by this. If you are suggesting a page explaining the distinction, that is probably a good idea, maybe with some other terminology. Perhaps a glossary.
