library 2.0 (for boris and mike) …

the idea is for mike; the tone for boris. From dchuds work log:

Library2.0 is not “tags”. It is not “AJAX”. It is not “user participation.” It is not “social”. It is not a “commons”.

It is MOST CERTAINLY not “RSS”.

This is all that it is: *every single thing* we do, every bit of information we publish, every way we publish it, EVERYTHING, is available via a few simple, standard protocols that *anybody* with an animal book and a text editor can make do what THEY want.

That’s it. Now stop boring us, and help build it.
