Hi all I set up a page for the book on the jopp site: http://peerproduction.net/projects/books/ I also updated the projects page: http://peerproduction.net/projects/ If someone with admin rights wants to enrich this in any way, go for it. cheers, Mathieu ________________________________________ From: maxigas <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, November 14, 2014 11:39 To: [email protected]; Mathieu ONeil Subject: Re: [JoPP-Public] Book of Peer Production From: Mathieu ONeil <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [JoPP-Public] Book of Peer Production Date: Thu, 13 Nov 2014 21:30:22 +0000

Hi maxigas, all

OK, so my first possible solution for the projects page was to divide it in several components: -some independent from us (surveys, translations) -some led by us (books) But then I thought that some JoPP-people might do translations as well.

So I think we will need a more contingent, fluid taxonomy ie "this project done by jopp"; "this project outside jopp". Do you want to do this? Let me know. Nate commented in a different exchange that we should announce through lists etc as it is already circulating, so we need a stable URL.

i don't see "hardcopies of jopp" as something either connected to jopp or not. i can perfectly imagine that some people in a conference we never heard of decide to print their own reader from their own selection of jopp articles, and i hope it will actually happen. if it happens we would put it in the same category as this one, i guess, because from a reader's point of view it matters little. that said, we should keep some control of the brand, even if that is rather futile when we have no trade marks and we are running on a public domain licencing policy. :)

Concerning web to print, all sounds good. I don't know much about that so happy to help you in any way I can.

great. i think this will became interesting in a few months' time when i explored options and some stuff that others are working on came out. i also try to suggest to the feminist issue editors to get a grant which would allow a move in this direction.

Concerning PDFs, I agree that the current system is not ideal but until we have a 100% foolproof replacement in place I would not support replacing it.

well the one we have is not even foolproof because for instance you have to enter all the header details, metadata, etc. by hand. i mean you first create the article and give it a title as a wordpress page, and then you add the title a second time as metadata? not a foolproof method... not to mention that images mysteriously dissappear if you put a non-breaking space (" ") in your text, etc. but as i wrote this is a middle-term plan, i guess that what i want to have does not exist as code at this time in history... and i agree that it should be as user friendly, or hopefully friendlier, than the current module we use. -- maxigas, kiberpunk FA00 8129 13E9 2617 C614 0901 7879 63BC 287E D166 http://research.metatron.ai/ When capitalism started it wasn’t legal.
