WISdomTM Retained Copyleft
An Open (FreeShare) Source CommonWealth

    The WISdom Proposal is a WeBookTM multimedia icono-cartoon book, conforming to the WeBook and Blog about itTM conceptual framework, and as such it may be copied in whole or in part, and it may be modified and used with discretion as described here:
    WeBooks enable content evolution in group and individual efforts by sharing resources to quickly create lots of them within various eidtorial genres, thus facilitating blogging communication in SIGs.  Shared graphics themes  hopefully widen the audience for material of general interest that may otherwise be considered too dull and technical.

    The WISdom Network must be designed by its users in this large scope project.  IT is too important to leave to the specialists.

     The WeBook and Blog about it conceptual framework facilitates the creation and the communications related activities of small SIGs as well as large community projects, like the WISdom Co-op and Network with virtually unlimited participation and annotation, using only free open internet facilities.

   The Securely registered WeLog Archives - SWeAr and the distributed evidence of both the WeBook and its Blogs accumulate the project's real world history, soon to be in  VSM format,  providing validated "prior art" with acces and analysis in real time for the needy USPTO or other historical interests as required.

    I sell this Web Services enabled Registered Archive and Access Tracking Service as WeRATrackTM (not the Free/Open Source WeBook and Blog about it content framework) through the third party registration authority WeCanTM (a subsidiary of WeVRB, Inc.Pat. Pend. , a virtual 501-c(x) corporation supporting  Virally Responsible Business) so I can get rich off other people's IPRs, and
so that  we can  Create Openly And Securely!

You Need to feel free to create, unless you're Creating a way to Feel Free.
Content Distribution is not  what needs to be restricted so much as the Usage to which it is Put.

    I certainly don't want to limit distribution in any way.  I was concerned that somebody else might steal the idea and sell it clandestinely to be used for whatever, so I made these  secure project history tools  that I hope to distribute as Web Services.

I don't presume to speak for all consumers.
I merely presume permission to speak and urge other consumers to do likewise.
What's in it for me?  Same as for anybody, a better quality of life.
No, I'm not going to patent this stuff!
Actually, I want to write a WISdom Network WeBlog about
how the network came to be, where it's going,
and where I think it should be going.

Keep, of Course
It's all about
Everybody Being Heard

Doing a consumer grassgroots co-op startup requires wearing a lot of different hats,
and many of them don't fit me so well.  Help!

WISdom Proposal Version 2.01: Kevin Edberg of Cooperative Development Services

Thanks to Cory Doctorow of the EFF for his remarks about the necessity of engaaging WISdom Co-op members
in the operation of the WISdom Network, as well as in its governance.

    The WISdom Proposal can be annotated or revised by entering comments and suggested changes directly on client resident copies of the relevant page(s) of the proposal.  Return annotated page(s) via HTML e-mail, and I will post replacement pages on this Web site, or create indentified linkage to your comments and suggestions at appropriate points in The WISdom Proposal.

    I recommend that you embed Links in e-mails to relevant mini-sections of the WISdom Proposal by copying their Link Location from the WISdom Proposal Contents page.

    As discussions proceed,  I will establish email subject entries enabling  primitive Sort, Select and Analysis of email.   Every reasonable effort will be made to deal fairly with email will be made.

Creative Commons Animation - Why CC?
Don't miss this cool animation about the mission of Creative Commons

    The model for the WISdom Proposal originally occured in my imagination as a multi-media comic book-like Macromedia Flash-like animation, embedded in an HTML "narration" with lots of interrelationships navigated by self-referential hyperlinks to help nurture a mental model in the audience of the proposed consumers' cooperative business, its operational environment, its implications,and its technical requirements.  The text in the Flash presentations themelves would be minimal;  issues and information would be carried mostly by voice dialogues, diagrams and narrations, all done in story character dialogue with pictures and narration format, and the HTML background presentations would be supportive to the message carried by the Flash presentation,  like The Story of Big C above with "mini-section" HTML background pages.

Anybody want to produce this Flash presentation(s)?
 Help!
