Open Source


There is a new Wiki devoted to Open Source, OSPedia. If you have something to say on the topic, just go and add some content. Wiki are Web pages that anyone can edit. This would be a good place for the library community to show the hackers what some of us have been doing.
Welcome to the OpenSourcePedia (or FreeSoftwarePedia). This is a collaborative resource built for and by a community of people interested in the advancement of collaborative software. Often referred to as "open source software" and/or "free software" both terms reflect the primary interest in working together in an spirit of openness, transparency, and community to produce superior software that you can share freely with others. The aim of the 'Pedia is to be an all encompassing resource for software users, developers, and the curious to find information about anything relating to our efforts in these endevours. We're just getting started so feel free to pitch in!
