Abstract

There are a number of Open Source Publishing networks and communities which facilitate the use of helpful tools for free publishing that can be adapted for various uses or goals. However many of these groups do not consciously take into account all of the processes necessary to solve all problems. The ecologies of many of these networks tend to fetishize the digital and neglect other possible solutions.
