P2P Foundation Social Publishing
The future of the Category:P2P Foundation Knowledge Commons is irrevocably tied into social publishing. The Foundation Commons can only grow in value and relevance by continuing to provide a low threshold opportunity for P2P enthusiasts to interact and publish on their favorite P2P subjects. In the process of interacting many of the news pieces and articles that are shared end up on the wiki, receiving additional attention and analysis. The articles percolate on the wiki, and as appropriate are integrated into the various Category:P2P Resource Collections that showcase P2P in a wide variety of subject areas. It all starts with social publishing with a low threshold for participation.
What's important
Here are some of the factors that come up when we look at the P2P Foundation Social Publishing systems.
- Easy sign-up
- Easy to add Postings - Easy editor and instructions
- Various publishing options - Blogs, Forums, and Videos
- Connect with friends - Add them to your friend list
- Comment on everything - let people know your reaction
- Stay in touch - Get Email or RSS from the system to track the subjects you like
- Share it all with everyone - FB, Tw, and Email
Current status
At the moment, most new authors are publishing through the Ning site at http://p2pfoundation.ning.com/. You can do the important stuff at this site, and receive feedback from the rest of the members.
Authors who wish to publish their P2P perspective to a wider audience for feedback may request a login to the P2P Foundation Blog.
Next Steps for social publishing
Many discussions have taken place on the email list about the many directions that could be taken when we consider moving away from Ning. Those options are under review within the documents listed below.
This article is focused on a description of what the Foundation offers, as well as being an introduction to the state of migration with regards to moving the content and members at the Ning site over to a new installation.
