Doing the Impossible
,----[ Quote ]
| There is no “magic” to commons-based peer production. Most of the techniques
| that have brought free culture products ranging from software to art to
| electronic hardware have been in play for hundreds or thousands of years. But
| they do run counter to the patterns of commercial proprietary industry. Due
| to the massive improvements in communications and authoring technology, we
| have reached a point where we can be more productive in our “leisure” than we
| are in our “work”. And any labor of love is almost always going to be
| superior to labor alone.

| Yet, the commons-based organization of the community, as exemplified by
| Wikipedia, shows up their productivity. GNU and Linux easily exceed their
| quality standards. Free arts may well exceed their artistic scope. In a few
| short years, the commons-based enterprise has out-produced centuries of
| corporate and government production.

You couldn’t do this with proprietary software

| The response was pretty emphatic: you just couldn’t do what Ringside is doing
| with proprietary software, according to Bob and Rich. As an explanation they
| discussed their hopes for getting Facebook application developers not just
| using Ringside for application development, but contributing to the
| development of the Social Application Server itself.
