200 "eine erfolgreiche Karriere als Autor führt, welcher seine Werke unter CC "
201 "veröffentlicht – sagte ich ihm, dass ich dachte, CC spiele eine Rolle darin, "
202 "offene Geschäftsmodelle zu definieren und zu fördern. Er widersprach diesem "

214 "is a means to a social end, not the end itself.”"

283 "she’s more determined than ever to live with her values right out on her "

360 "collection of like-minded people who get to know each other and rally around "

362 "Creative Commons automatically brings with it some element of community, by "
363 "helping connect you to like-minded others who recognize and are drawn to the "
364 "values symbolized by using CC.” Amanda Palmer, the other musician profiled "

1219 "and privatization are not the only two choices. There is a third way: "
1220 "management by the people, where those that are directly impacted are "
1221 "directly involved. With natural resources, there is a regional locality. The "
1222 "people in the region are the most familiar with the natural resource, have "
1223 "the most direct relationship and history with it, and are therefore best "
1224 "situated to manage it. Ostrom’s approach to the governance of natural "

2062 "business models that involve Creative Commons licenses in some significant "

2066 "individual musician to a university-textbook publisher to an electronics "
2067 "manufacturer. Some make their own content and share under Creative Commons "

2069 "others. Many sit somewhere in between, both using and contributing creative "
2070 "work that’s shared with the public. Like all who use the licenses, these "
2071 "endeavors share their work—whether it’s open data or furniture designs—in a "

2995 "In many ways, this is the way of the future for all content-driven "
2996 "endeavors. In the market, value lives in things that are scarce. Because the "
2997 "Internet makes a universe of content available to all of us for free, it is "
2998 "difficult to get people to pay for content online. The struggling newspaper "
2999 "industry is a testament to this fact. This is compounded by the fact that at "
3000 "least some amount of copying is probably inevitable. That means you may end "
3001 "up competing with free versions of your own content, whether you condone it "
3002 "or not.<placeholder type=\"footnote\" id=\"0\"/> If people can easily find "
3003 "your content for free, getting people to buy it will be difficult, "

3104 "of reserving commercial rights can be particularly important for items like "

8888 "In 2008, while in a senior leadership role at WebAssign and looking at ways "
8889 "to reduce the risk that came with relying on publishers, David Harris began "
8890 "investigating open educational resources (OER) and discovered Connexions. A "
8891 "year and a half later, Connexions received a grant to help grow the use of "
8892 "OER so that it could meet the needs of students who couldn’t afford "
8893 "textbooks. David came on board to spearhead this effort. Connexions became "
8894 "OpenStax CNX; the program to create open textbooks became OpenStax College, "

8905 "have to exist as a whole and not in pieces, and they have to be easy to "

8907 "professionally produce a turnkey textbook by investing effort up front, with "

9089 "off through wide geographic adoption. The OER 2.0 process for OpenStax "
9090 "involves two development models. The first is what David calls the "
9091 "acquisition model, where OpenStax purchases the rights from a publisher or "
9092 "author for an already published book and then extensively revises it. The "
9093 "OpenStax physics textbook, for example, was licensed from an author after "
9094 "the publisher released the rights back to the authors. The second model is "

9101 "The process is similar for both models. First they look at the scope and "
9102 "sequence of existing textbooks. They ask questions like what does the "
9103 "customer need? Where are students having challenges? Then they identify "
9104 "potential authors and put them through a rigorous evaluation—only one in ten "
9105 "authors make it through. OpenStax selects a team of authors who come "
9106 "together to develop a template for a chapter and collectively write the "
9107 "first draft (or revise it, in the acquisitions model). (OpenStax doesn’t do "
9108 "books with just a single author as David says it risks the project going "
9109 "longer than scheduled.) The draft is peer-reviewed with no less than three "
9110 "reviewers per chapter. A second draft is generated, with artists producing "
9111 "illustrations and visuals to go along with the text. The book is then "
9112 "copyedited to ensure grammatical correctness and a singular voice. Finally, "

9124 "maybe 5 percent of all authors. From David’s perspective, 95 percent of all "

9891 "was found in the roof, and although the museum was scheduled to be closed "
9892 "for only three to four years, renovations ended up taking ten years. During "

11798 "ingrained in our digital lives that the fact of its existence seems less "
11799 "remarkable. But outside of software, Wikipedia is perhaps the single most "
11800 "stunning example of successful community cocreation. Every day, seven "

11808 "The nature of the content the community creates is ideal for asynchronous "
11809 "cocreation. “An encyclopedia is something where incremental community "
11810 "improvement really works,” Luis Villa, former Chief Officer of Community "
11811 "Engagement, told us. The rules and processes that govern cocreation on "
11812 "Wikipedia and its sister projects are all community-driven and vary by "
11813 "language edition. There are entire books written on the intricacies of "
11814 "their systems, but generally speaking, there are very few exceptions to the "
11815 "rule that anyone can edit any article, even without an account on their "
11816 "system. The extensive peer-review process includes elaborate systems to "
11817 "resolve disputes, methods for managing particularly controversial subject "
11818 "areas, talk pages explaining decisions, and much, much more. The Wikimedia "
11819 "Foundation’s decision to leave governance of the projects to the community "
11820 "is very deliberate. “We look at the things that the community can do well, "
11821 "and we want to let them do those things,” Stephen told us. Instead, the "
11822 "foundation focuses its time and resources on what the community cannot do as "
11823 "effectively, like the software engineering that supports the technical "
11824 "infrastructure of the sites. In 2015-16, about half of the foundation’s "
11825 "budget went to direct support for the Wikimedia sites."

11831 "Some of that is directed at servers and general IT support, but the "
11832 "foundation also invests a significant amount on architecture designed to "
11833 "help the site function as effectively as possible. “There is a constantly "
11834 "evolving system to keep the balance in place to avoid Wikipedia becoming the "
11835 "world’s biggest graffiti wall,” Luis said. Depending on how you measure it, "
11836 "somewhere between 90 to 98 percent of edits to Wikipedia are positive. Some "
11837 "portion of that success is attributable to the tools Wikimedia has in place "
11838 "to try to incentivize good actors. “The secret to having any healthy "
11839 "community is bringing back the right people,” Luis said. “Vandals tend to "
11840 "get bored and go away. That is partially our model working, and partially "
11841 "just human nature.” Most of the time, people want to do the right thing."

11868 "Of course, the primary reason no one has successfully co-opted Wikipedia is "

11871 "every given topic—it is also a global patchwork of humans working together "
11872 "in a million different ways, in a million different capacities, for a "
11873 "million different reasons. While many have tried to guess what makes "
11874 "Wikipedia work as well it does, the fact is there is no single explanation. "
11875 "“In a movement as large as ours, there is an incredible diversity of "
11876 "motivations,” Stephen said. For example, there is one editor of the English "

11878 "more than forty-eight thousand times.<placeholder type=\"footnote\" id=\"0\"/"
11879 "> Only a fraction of Wikipedia users are also editors. But editing is not "
