Publishing License Project
Submitted by Augustin on Wed, 2007-12-05 17:20.This group is about drafting a license to use within the book publishing industry and for the readers.
The license is permissive in the same way as the GPL (for software) and the Creative Commons (for online material) are.
At the same time, the license guarantees the protection of the environment by making sure that the author's income is not bound to be proportional to the negative impact the published books have on the environment.

Closed Captioning on TV: How does it work?
Submitted by ipost on Mon, 2008-08-04 09:31.Chances are that you have accidentally hit the closed captioning button on your remote control before. If so, you have an idea of what closed captioning is all about. Generally speaking, this is when words are displayed on the screen so individuals who cannot hear can still enjoy the television. With that being said, closed captioning is not something that happens automatically. In other words, there is a lot that goes into this process.

ACTION: Searching for John McCain
Submitted by Augustin on Sat, 2008-05-31 14:10.I saw this post at Dailykos:
Searching for John McCain is a massive, online activism campaign designed to make at least ten million non-partisan, poll-tested, on-message voter contacts that reveal the damning truth about John McCain entirely through mainstream news reports and McCain’s own words. Through mass blogger participation and the use of embedded hyperlinks, Searching for John McCain will connect millions of curious, low-information swing voters to negative, mainstream news articles about John McCain without 99% of those voters even knowing that Searching for John McCain exists.
To learn how to participate, and to learn how it will work, read on into the extended entry.

Proposed procedure to seek help within a discussion group
The idea is to make a positive contribution on the web. We often require help and assistance. We should endeavor to contribute something to the community in return.
Therefore, when having a problem, we do our best to follow the following general principle:
- Clearly identify what the question/problem is.
- First, have a look at the Documentation Wiki, at the place where you'd expect to find the answer.
- If you cannot find the answer anywhere in the wiki, make a note or create a stub of a page at the most appropriate place.

Omega-3 and the link between violence and diet
Submitted by Marnia on Sat, 2006-10-21 17:16.http://www.taipeitimes.com/News/editorials/archives/2006/10/20/200333259...
This article explains that much violence is apparently related to our modern diet. It starves our brains of key nutrients found in fish oil.

a bikeshed color problem
Submitted by Augustin on Mon, 2006-10-09 08:20.Recently, I made a very informal proposal for Drupal developers to cooperate to fight spam at the source of the problem. Unfortunately, there has been no reply to my email.
Regularly, the developers' mailing list, just like many other discussion groups, would go into lengthy debates about fairly inconsequential topics. Around that time, a new default theme for Drupal was being heavily discussed, as well as a new convention to name different Drupal releases.
