This is a new, kind of ambitious project page. I'm planning to port all open concepts and movements in a new category, so that 'openness' can be discussed as a paradigm in its own right, independent of its sectoral manifestations. The question is: what is common to openness in these various domains, and what is different?

I also hope to do a visualization of these efforts.

Right now, I will be porting about 15 concepts a day to this new category,
