Announcing the Beta
The last couple of months we have been steadily developing the *openmargin platform. A space where readers of the same book can share their perspective inside the margin to initiate a dialogue with like-minded people.
Today we invite you to take the very first version for a test ride. It’s still an early beta with a lot of known and unknown bugs, so the road will be bumpy, but nevertheless we want to hear YOUR perspective so we can decide which direction to take in the ongoing development.
Requirements
To take part in the beta test you’ll need an iPad with internet access, either 3G or wifi. For the web platform we recommend the Safari browser, while we’re working out some kinks in Firefox.
The book
To encourage an active dialogue we’ve decided to start off with one book only, namely Content by Cory Doctorow. It’s a collection of Doctorow’s essays on technology, creativity, copyright and ‘the future of the future’.
How to take part
