I love this idea. It is an “open source” guide to creating campaign literature (flyers, newspapers, etc.) for union and community organizers. The core guide is already written and is free to anyone who wants to download it. That is cool, but it is not the brilliant part of the idea. The guide is going to be free to edit by anyone who wants to contribute. That is the truly “open source” aspect of the project (most bloggers I assume will know what open source means – it comes from the open source software movement (Unux is the best example), where the code is publicly available and editable by anyone who wishes to contribute). I have hosted what I call the open source HR department for a few years now, but my technology is terrible – I have decided after reading this article to move the work contributed so far to some wikipedia-type architecture. I am convinced that this networked learning and development is the true revolution of the internet, in its infancy.
