Relaunching the old blog
Well, I’ve been meaning ot get this down for a while, but I’ve finally moved my personal blog to a better space and I’m hoping ot start blogging more. We’ll see.
One of the things I’m trying to get sorted out in my head is the complicated relationship between blogging and all this other social media stuff like Twitter and Facebook and Friendfeed. I am confident that I will strike on some sort of formula that get all og these things working nicely together.
Wish me luck 🙂
DocStoc Launches Document Collections
Popular document sharing service DocStoc just launched a collections feature, which lets users package documents around a particular topic. DocStoc has already created close to 50 collections, including “Starting a Small Business,” “Advertising Online,” and “Traveling on a Budget,” and is opening up the platform to users to add to existing collections and create their own.
via DocStoc Launches Document Collections.
New feature includes 2 legal collections, “Filing a Patent” and “How to File a Lawsuit“. With any luck somebody will wade through the docs and put together some more legal collections and maybe even some with an eye toward legal education. Wait that would be me and law school outlines.

O’Reilly Takes The Plunge Into Collaborative Authoring With Open Feedback
Over the last few years, traditional publishing has been moving closer to the web and learning a lot of lessons from blogs and wikis, in particular. Today we’re happy to announce another small step in that direction: our first manuscript (Programming Scala) is now available for public reading and feedback as part of our Open Feedback Publishing System. The idea is simple: improve in-progress books by engaging the community in a collaborative dialog with the authors out in the open. To do this, we followed the model of the Django Book, Real World Haskell, and Mercurial: The Definitive Guide (among others) and built a system to regularly publish the whole manuscript online as HTML with a comment box under every paragraph, sidebar, figure, and table.After the impressive success of the Rough Cuts program from Safari Books Online, which we’ve long supported, and Real World Haskell, which used a similar system, we we’re extremely eager to try the idea out with more titles.
Collaborative Publishing Based on Community Feedback – O’Reilly Labs
Seems like a step in the right direction. The ability to comment on a work at the paragraph level is a great idea. I wonder if the OPFS engine for turning a book or manuscript into a commentable website will ne made available for others to use?
