“In this paper, I consider open content as an important development track in the media landscape of tomorrow. I define open content as content possible for others to improve and redistribute and/or content that is produced without any consideration of immediate financial reward – often collectively within a virtual community. The open content phenomenon can to some extent be compared to the phenomenon of open source. Production within a virtual community is one possible source of open content. Another possible source is content in the public domain. This could be sound, pictures, movies or texts that have no copyright, in legal terms.” (Magnus Cedegen – First Monday 8.8)

“Are the people who have least to say in your organization publishing most on your intranet or public website? Are the people who have most to say publishing least? You’re not alone. Organizations are slowly realizing that managing a website is as much about what you don’t publish as what you do.” (Gerry McGovern)

“Do you ever look around and consider how much of the world desperately needs good Design?” (Dirk Knemeyer – Thread)

“Information design is concerned with making complex information easier to understand and to use. It is a rapidly growing discipline that draws on typography, graphic design, applied linguistics, applied psychology, applied ergonomics, computing, and other fields. It emerged as a response to people’s need to understand and use such things as forms, legal documents, computer interfaces and technical information. Information designers responding to these needs have achieved major economic and social improvements in information use.” (Sue Walker and Linda Reynolds – Design Counsil)
