[open-bibliography] FAQ for http://opendefinition.org/

Sat Jan 15 22:03:48 UTC 2011

Thanks Daniel, developing an FAQ along these lines and especially including
the info [1] in a well organized form will be very useful.  Thanks to both Peter and Adrian
for their well-reasoned arguments against NC on this thread. I had not appreciated the
extent of the problems with NC before. A lot of what's currently on the web on this topic seems
emotional and dogmatic. We need to stick to reasoned explanations to be persuasive.
The FAQ format should serve well for this.
