  1. Why Gates is Wrong by mdubinko · · Score: 1 · on Information Overload Overblown, Says Gates

    Having started a company with the tagline "Information overload solutions", I have a bit to say about this.

    Full entry on my blog -m

  2. Creative Commons/GFDL helps by mdubinko · · Score: 2, Informative · on Doctorow: Ebooks Neither E Nor Books

    I wrote the O'Reilly book XForms Essentials and released it under the GFDL. I can say from experience that freeing the text has helped promote the book to audiences that would not have otherwise heard of it.

    In order to deal with the rapidly changing technology, I launched a companion web site XForms Institute.

    Particularly with technical books, "multimodal" publishing is smart. I'm glad to see Cory try it with fiction. -m

  3. Direct link to book by darkpurpleblob · · Score: 1 · on XForms, XML Events Now W3C Recommendations

    Full book text (warning: the page is 1/2Mb).

  4. Open standards for XML forms by mdubinko · · Score: 2, Interesting · on Fulfilling the Promise of XML-based Office Suites?

    One thing the Open Source office suites don't (yet) have much of an answer for is an XML data collection/management system along the lines of Microsoft Office InfoPath. A natural standard for such applications is W3C XForms.

    Read all about it--fullly GFDL and online now--from the O'Reilly book at my site.

  5. O'Reilly XForms book to be under GFDL by mdubinko · · Score: 2, Interesting · on Prentice Hall To Publish Open Content Licensed Books

    Also of note, the XForms book I'm writing for O'Reilly will be published under the GFDL.

    Before publication, the text-in-progress is also available, but under a somewhat more restrictive license, at http://dubinko.info/writing/xforms/.

    This policy at O'Reilly dates back to at least May 2002, when I signed the contract.
