[okfn-labs] Open License uploader

Mon Feb 11 19:00:04 UTC 2013

Hi Sam,

I was thinking about our current project with Open Literature and 
uploading the texts and wider ways of storing and accessing the data. It 
might just be something that I toddle along with in my own time as an 
experiment (I think there might be other ways of using Drupal as a way 
of doing this). It is also an exploration to see how a CMS like Drupal 
or perhaps Wordpress can be used in such a way.

I am not suggesting that anything is replaced but trying to think 
slightly sideways about other ways of doing it in ways that are 
accessible via other exisiting technologies.

Regards,

Iain
