Bloggers like me will jump in to this project, I'm thinking, especially those of us who blog about business, management, markets and specific industries and areas such as marketing and human resources.
The question is, how do you get them to blog about this project frequently. I've blogged on the project based on the WSJ.com article, and I'll probably continue blogging on it. I've reviewed one book on network and word of mouth marketing, and I'm going to review one that's about to come out on "citizen marketers," which is by blogging and community-building consultants Ben McConnell and Jackie Huba.
Then the question become, how do bloggers on business and marketing and community contribute to WASTM? They own their content. If they cut and paste some of it here, they still own the content but have granted Peason the right to use it as well, correct?
And, of course many bloggers have comment sections, message boards and, soon, wiki, on their blog sites. They have the experience that this project needs to produce a useful book and wiki on community building and maintenance.
Whether they've succeeded in pulling their communities together to accomplish something like what is being attempted here is doubtful. Most commenters on blogs and boards are free spirits, and few are experienced bureaucrats and business executives. The latter tend to treat information as power and keep their thoughts to themselves until they can be exploited for their personal benefits. :rolleyes: |

I think the blogging community is a must for the topic of the book. They are the premier examples of how the open community functions. Blogospheres, should not only be viewed as an opportunity for sales, but as a concrete example of group dynamics and the keys to self-motivated content creation.
I think that any content used in the book that is drawn from blogs should be properly cited in the citations section of the relevant chapter. Does anyone know if there are academic standards for citing a blog post? I imagine its the same format as for websites. |

| Should it simply state as a policy that we can contribute blog thoughts if the blog itself acribes to the principles of creativecommons? |

| What flavor of Creative Commons? Is the book going to be Creative Commons too? The details will matter with all of this. |

Important thought re Creative Commons - for some of us not clear what flavors are available, please help!
For instance, is it OK to be able to download (as PDF) for free and sell in paper format for $?

| I think the selling is the tricky part, the downloading is easy. |

| Not sure if the book content should be CreativeCommons but I do like the GNU documentation licenses. Many publishers have some experience with it... |
