jaysen naidooAn idea for an experimental ecosystem of publictext built on top of git and using git repos as hosting. #publictext #commons #newpublic
- GIT+clone+fork
- Consensus & Reputation mechanisms
- Fluid public, semi-public & private community controls
- Metaweb commons: social bookmarks, notes & wiki for web pages, via a browser extension
