I will be writing my Ba-thesis for history on LogiLogi. It is about the justifiability of Intellectual Property, given the historic and technological developments since the introduction of copyright- and patent-laws.
So yes, I will be eating my own dogfood :-) Not just the final version will be put on-line, but I will write it incrementally and in the open, as it develops. This even though the end-product will still have to be a pdf paper-simulation that can guise as a normal article and be printed and all (to jack into the university system).
With it, as one of the people behind LogiLogi, of course I hope to learn what works and what doesn’t in LogiLogi, and thus how LogiLogi might be improved, but also to have a valuable discussion on Intellectual Property, a subject that is very important to the future of philosophy and free deliberation, and for the kind of society that we and our children may hope to live in.
Some of the challenges could be the neatly splitting up of things into logis of max 1.000 words, and keeping the set of tags for each part meaningful. In addition it will be a challenge to balance between the multi-dimensionality of hypertext and the need for a linear ordering of everything in the final paper version. Also – and I need your help with this – I hope we can see how things work out if more logis compete, and people with different ideas and concepts add tags to their logis, testing how the freely growing folksonomy can turn into something sensible.
And last but not least I expect to find quite a grotesque collection of bugs and some fascinating possible improvements, and balancing my time between improving LogiLogi and feeding the paper version to my prof on time, might become a small challenge too :)
So feel welcome to join our dogfood dinner on LogiLogi, where you’ll find a warm intellectual atmosphere, delicious patent-dishes, copyright-salads, and other intellectual food, and oh, yes, please don’t forget to bring your own ideas and opinions; brains are welcome.
