Thanks to let us know about the global address book! Dear Ben,

Yes, of course, but fortunately enough, although we perhaps play in the same sand-box, we have something to share: our toys. Thanks to let us know about the global address book!

WikiWorldBook itself is a collaborative open Global Address Book, built on an open source platform. I have succesfully downloaded the pdf and look forward to reading your book in a more leisurely manner! Of course there is only one wikiworldbook:

I'm missing mention of the concept of meritocracy; which Is very important in the participatory digital spheres. All the Open Source projects that power the Wikiworld are ruled by this principle (eg. Apache, Mozilla, Wikimedia, ...). It should also be mentioned IMO that the inherently anarchistic structure of a Wiki makes it vulnerable to attack from political and economic interest groups (eg. governments, 'intelligence' community, lobbyists) who can pay fake participants to maintain a favorable bias in the available information through omission of less favorable information. IMO there is already a 'war' against free information being waged, the scale of which is unknown. Interesting read.

Making the book costs 15€, posting to Europe another 5€. I second Einar on using Lulu.com: I received my hardcover copy of Wikiworld two days ago and I’m very happy with it.

I am a librarian working with electronic publishing and Open Access issues, and my question is: should you not deposit a copy also in the open repository of University of Tampere, TamPub? http://tampub.uta.fi/index_eng.php That would help disseminating your book through search services and should provide a fairly stable URL, I guess. Looks very interesting, will surely read it. Thank you. Tomas (Ruotsi). Hi.

I think it must be the connection; the file should be OK and we haven't heard of any troubles otherwise... Hope you will succeed. And have a nice journey! Thanks Mathias, we will check that!
