208 "CC’s most well-known proponents—one who has also had a successful career as "
209 "a writer who shares his work using CC—I told him I thought CC had a role in "
210 "defining and advancing open business models. He kindly disagreed, and called "
211 "the pursuit of viable business models through CC “a red herring.”"

215 "in Toronto. Als einer der meistbekanntesten Vertreter CCs – einer, der auch "
216 "eine erfolgreiche Karriere als Autor führt, welcher seine Werke unter CC "
217 "veröffentlicht – sagte ich ihm, dass ich dachte, CC spiele eine Rolle darin, "
218 "offene Geschäftsmodelle zu definieren und zu fördern. Er widersprach diesem "

232 "Er lag im gewisser Weise komplett richtig. Diejenigen, die Dinge unter CC "

364 "himself up as a Kickstarter benefit), he agreed immediately. Why would he "
365 "agree to do that? Because the commons has collaboration at its core, and "

3014 "difficult to get people to pay for content online. The struggling newspaper "
3015 "industry is a testament to this fact. This is compounded by the fact that at "

4437 "In 2005, at the Interaction Design Institute Ivrea in northern Italy, "
4438 "teachers and students needed an easy way to use electronics and programming "
4439 "to quickly prototype design ideas. As musicians, artists, and designers, "
4440 "they needed a platform that didn’t require engineering expertise. A group of "
4441 "teachers and students, including Massimo Banzi, David Cuartielles, Tom Igoe, "
4442 "Gianluca Martino, and David Mellis, built a platform that combined different "
4443 "open technologies. They called it Arduino. The platform integrated software, "
4444 "hardware, microcontrollers, and electronics. All aspects of the platform "
4445 "were openly licensed: hardware designs and documentation with the "
4446 "Attribution-Share-Alike license (CC BY-SA), and software with the GNU "
4447 "General Public License."

6402 "and machine-readable, with rich metadata about the sources, the licenses, "

6405 "Figure.NZ website, and they can also be exported in a variety of formats for "
6406 "print or online use. Figure.NZ makes its data and graphs available using "

8904 "In 2008, while in a senior leadership role at WebAssign and looking at ways "
8905 "to reduce the risk that came with relying on publishers, David Harris began "

8907 "year and a half later, Connexions received a grant to help grow the use of "
8908 "OER so that it could meet the needs of students who couldn’t afford "

9105 "off through wide geographic adoption. The OER 2.0 process for OpenStax "
9106 "involves two development models. The first is what David calls the "
9107 "acquisition model, where OpenStax purchases the rights from a publisher or "
9108 "author for an already published book and then extensively revises it. The "
9109 "OpenStax physics textbook, for example, was licensed from an author after "
9110 "the publisher released the rights back to the authors. The second model is "

9117 "The process is similar for both models. First they look at the scope and "
9118 "sequence of existing textbooks. They ask questions like what does the "
9119 "customer need? Where are students having challenges? Then they identify "
9120 "potential authors and put them through a rigorous evaluation—only one in ten "
9121 "authors make it through. OpenStax selects a team of authors who come "
9122 "together to develop a template for a chapter and collectively write the "
9123 "first draft (or revise it, in the acquisitions model). (OpenStax doesn’t do "
9124 "books with just a single author as David says it risks the project going "
9125 "longer than scheduled.) The draft is peer-reviewed with no less than three "
9126 "reviewers per chapter. A second draft is generated, with artists producing "
9127 "illustrations and visuals to go along with the text. The book is then "
9128 "copyedited to ensure grammatical correctness and a singular voice. Finally, "
9129 "it goes into production and through a final proofread. The whole process is "

9139 "make more money under the traditional publishing model, but that is only "
9140 "maybe 5 percent of all authors. From David’s perspective, 95 percent of all "

11824 "The nature of the content the community creates is ideal for asynchronous "
11825 "cocreation. “An encyclopedia is something where incremental community "
11826 "improvement really works,” Luis Villa, former Chief Officer of Community "
11827 "Engagement, told us. The rules and processes that govern cocreation on "
11828 "Wikipedia and its sister projects are all community-driven and vary by "
11829 "language edition. There are entire books written on the intricacies of "
11830 "their systems, but generally speaking, there are very few exceptions to the "
11831 "rule that anyone can edit any article, even without an account on their "
11832 "system. The extensive peer-review process includes elaborate systems to "
11833 "resolve disputes, methods for managing particularly controversial subject "
11834 "areas, talk pages explaining decisions, and much, much more. The Wikimedia "
11835 "Foundation’s decision to leave governance of the projects to the community "
11836 "is very deliberate. “We look at the things that the community can do well, "
11837 "and we want to let them do those things,” Stephen told us. Instead, the "
11838 "foundation focuses its time and resources on what the community cannot do as "
11839 "effectively, like the software engineering that supports the technical "
11840 "infrastructure of the sites. In 2015-16, about half of the foundation’s "
11841 "budget went to direct support for the Wikimedia sites."

11847 "Some of that is directed at servers and general IT support, but the "

11850 "evolving system to keep the balance in place to avoid Wikipedia becoming the "
11851 "world’s biggest graffiti wall,” Luis said. Depending on how you measure it, "
11852 "somewhere between 90 to 98 percent of edits to Wikipedia are positive. Some "
11853 "portion of that success is attributable to the tools Wikimedia has in place "
11854 "to try to incentivize good actors. “The secret to having any healthy "
11855 "community is bringing back the right people,” Luis said. “Vandals tend to "
11856 "get bored and go away. That is partially our model working, and partially "
11857 "just human nature.” Most of the time, people want to do the right thing."

11884 "Of course, the primary reason no one has successfully co-opted Wikipedia is "

11888 "in a million different ways, in a million different capacities, for a "

11891 "“In a movement as large as ours, there is an incredible diversity of "

11894 "more than forty-eight thousand times.<placeholder type=\"footnote\" id=\"0\"/"
