356 "so much into a political campaign that didn’t end as she’d hoped. Today, "
357 "she’s more determined than ever to live with her values right out on her "

380 "passion and curiosity, and a deep respect for what goes into building the "
381 "commons and sharing with the world. They remained open to new ideas, "
382 "including the possibility that their initial theories would need refinement "
383 "or might be completely wrong. That’s courageous, and it has made for a "
384 "better book that is insightful, honest, and useful."

436 "communities all over the world to help write this book. As their opinions "

438 "decided to keep them separate in the final product. Working in this way "

442 "Paul i Sarah, przez cały czas realizacji projektu, pracowali całkowicie "

444 "zaangażowali też do współpracy społeczności z całego świata, co okazało się "
445 "bardzo pomocne przy pisaniu książki. Ponieważ opinie Sarah i Paul'a różniły "

9334 "involves two development models. The first is what David calls the "
9335 "acquisition model, where OpenStax purchases the rights from a publisher or "
9336 "author for an already published book and then extensively revises it. The "
9337 "OpenStax physics textbook, for example, was licensed from an author after "
9338 "the publisher released the rights back to the authors. The second model is "

9345 "The process is similar for both models. First they look at the scope and "
9346 "sequence of existing textbooks. They ask questions like what does the "
9347 "customer need? Where are students having challenges? Then they identify "
9348 "potential authors and put them through a rigorous evaluation—only one in ten "
9349 "authors make it through. OpenStax selects a team of authors who come "
9350 "together to develop a template for a chapter and collectively write the "
9351 "first draft (or revise it, in the acquisitions model). (OpenStax doesn’t do "
9352 "books with just a single author as David says it risks the project going "
9353 "longer than scheduled.) The draft is peer-reviewed with no less than three "
9354 "reviewers per chapter. A second draft is generated, with artists producing "
9355 "illustrations and visuals to go along with the text. The book is then "
9356 "copyedited to ensure grammatical correctness and a singular voice. Finally, "
9357 "it goes into production and through a final proofread. The whole process is "

9367 "make more money under the traditional publishing model, but that is only "
9368 "maybe 5 percent of all authors. From David’s perspective, 95 percent of all "

12069 "enough to know the experiment started in 2001 at a small scale, inspired by "
12070 "the crazy notion that perhaps a truly open, collaborative project could "
12071 "create something meaningful. At this point, Wikipedia is so ubiquitous and "
12072 "ingrained in our digital lives that the fact of its existence seems less "
12073 "remarkable. But outside of software, Wikipedia is perhaps the single most "
12074 "stunning example of successful community cocreation. Every day, seven "

12082 "The nature of the content the community creates is ideal for asynchronous "

12084 "improvement really works,</quote> Luis Villa, former Chief Officer of "
12085 "Community Engagement, told us. The rules and processes that govern "
12086 "cocreation on Wikipedia and its sister projects are all community-driven and "
12087 "vary by language edition. There are entire books written on the intricacies "
12088 "of their systems, but generally speaking, there are very few exceptions to "
12089 "the rule that anyone can edit any article, even without an account on their "
12090 "system. The extensive peer-review process includes elaborate systems to "
12091 "resolve disputes, methods for managing particularly controversial subject "
12092 "areas, talk pages explaining decisions, and much, much more. The Wikimedia "
12093 "Foundation’s decision to leave governance of the projects to the community "
12094 "is very deliberate. <quote>We look at the things that the community can do "
12095 "well, and we want to let them do those things,</quote> Stephen told us. "
12096 "Instead, the foundation focuses its time and resources on what the community "
12097 "cannot do as effectively, like the software engineering that supports the "
12098 "technical infrastructure of the sites. In 2015-16, about half of the "

12108 "constantly evolving system to keep the balance in place to avoid Wikipedia "
12109 "becoming the world’s biggest graffiti wall,</quote> Luis said. Depending on "
12110 "how you measure it, somewhere between 90 to 98 percent of edits to Wikipedia "
12111 "are positive. Some portion of that success is attributable to the tools "

12143 "Of course, the primary reason no one has successfully co-opted Wikipedia is "

12147 "in a million different ways, in a million different capacities, for a "
