Open Collaboration Encyclopedia

Book: The Open Collaboration Encyclopedia, Alpha Lo and Alden Bevington, Eds. (Pioneer Imprints/Lulu.com), 2009

Description

"massively crowdsourced, 550+ pages of content covering everything from co-ops and chaordic theory to unconferences and worldwork. Though rich with critical alternatives to each concept, the cladistics system of keywords and symbols makes it look, oddly, like a woo-woo chemistry manual for hermeneutic scholars. There were many worthy books to consider for this list, but none that put the "shareable" ideas described within to use in producing the artifact. The Open Collaboration Encyclopedia walked it's talk and as a how-to manual for open collaboration can help you do the same." (http://shareable.net/blog/the-ten-best-shareable-books-of-2009)
