[okfn-discuss] idea: open knowledge manifesto

Tue Jun 17 10:20:30 UTC 2014

Why?
Not to suggest an absence of reason, but because of an abundance.

Good to see it's at the start of the document, but it's been largely
skipped over there and in discussion.

No rush of course, but don't leave it out!
