Wikinews in the Works: "The Wikipedia community is debating whether to create Wikinews, a journalism project in which the audience does literally everything. The project strikes me as naive in parts -- including the legal dangers that need much more discussion -- but it's also well-meaning and thoughtful. Citizen-journalism is on the rise, and if the Wikipedians proceed, I'll be watching with extreme interest." [Dan Gillmor's eJournal]

Closed vs. open -- Comment()
I wrote a net column on collaborative software development using the open source model vs. closed source (Amatöörienergiassa ohjelmistokehityksen tulevaisuus). I think the networked open source model has the future - the feodalistic model of closed source and software patents seems anti-competitive (and even anti-capitalistic). But who knows, this would not be the first time when a closed solution wins over an open one.
