I wrote a post over at werd.io about idno, the open source publishing tool I've been building:
What decisions would I make if I was building Elgg today, in 2013? What would I do the same way, and what would I do differently?
It's still a relatively technical post - it's still very much in development, after all - but go read the whole post and let me know what you think.
Let's keep building.
AI, surveillance, open tech, and news as a business.
We need to see more technical collaborations between public service media organizations. It's also really important that they're based on open technology that doesn't lock them in.
Newsrooms like to spend their time on the journalistic process and assume that the value of their work will speak for itself. They need to start selling themselves.
