<br>
This is tremendous work! Thank you for sharing it.<br>
<br>
Two other recent works come to mind, that might be interesting and
relevant: Kathleen Fitzpatrick's blog post <a
href="http://www.plannedobsolescence.net/the-commons-and-the-common-good/">"The
Commons and the Common Good,"</a> and Dan Cohen's recent talk <a
href="http://sites.bu.edu/humanitiesforums/dan-cohen/">"From Open Access
to Maximal Access"</a> (the latter is currently available in audio
only).<br>
<br>
The five prerequisites made available by COAR are beautifully, concisely
articulated, and I know we'll be using them in our work here at BU.<br>
