@falcondot could you please explain what you mean by "knowledge network format"?

A couple of other things about the book. It's currently appearing under "latest news" on CreativeCommons.org.nz, which is great, but other than that, it's very hard to find on the website. It's not currently mentioned on the 'About' page, which seems like a good place to mention it. Under 'Resources', it doesn't appear if you click on 'print', you have to click 'See All' and scroll right down to the bottom. It's a fantastic piece of work, and I'd like to see it featured front and centre on the front page, perhaps a banner under the CC Kiwi video?
Also, the version that downloads by default is the .EPUB version. Although this is officially an open standard, it's akin to .PDF in its early days, badly implemented in most software, and very difficult to read in GNU/Linux or MacOSX. It would be great if that download link either a) gave the user a choice of formats, or b) took the user to the Archive.org page where they are available.

Hi Strypey,
Knowledge Network is a network of interconnected atoms of knowledge:
http://confocal-manawatu.pbworks.com/w/page/61389872/Knowledge%20Network
Can be used for collective intelligence including teaching/learning, project development, collective decision making.
Writing in KN format means interconnecting bits and pieces of knowledge of one page with other pages / topics / knowledge nods available on the Knowledge Network. Usually done by means of hyperlinking.

"free public access to academic research", p.11
Does it includes Citizen Science or Open Access to the results only?
Thank you.

It's really just open access - we have a relatively narrow focus on access and licensing. I'd see this as a subset of the broader open / public research movement, which includes science communication, citizen science, etc.

Dear All,
I am reading the book and have a lot of questions. What forum or a working group should I address them to?
Thank you

Strypey, thank you for the link. Added to LiM.
Comparative analysis can be found here:

I strongly agree PBWorks is not ideal for the task. I am looking
for a possibility of development/transfer onto a P2P Collective
Intelligence platform with features listed here:

Please let me know if you have further suggestions / ideas.
Thanks again!!

So as to avoid hijacking this thread, we have moved the discussion of Dmitry's work on LikeinMind to a new thread on PermaGeeks. Just to bring focus back to the topic, this thread about the new CC ANZ book, 'A Quiet Revolution'.

The book is being converted to the knowledge network format:
