- Maker! Map the World's Data -- web-based tool to make elegant maps from public data.
- Flat World Knowledge, a commercial publisher of open textbooks (Jon Udell) -- notable if only for Publishers need to be device-agnostic in the broadest sense. The printed book is one of the devices we target..
- datapkg -- a data packaging tool, so you can easily find and install datasets.
- On Karma -- very detailed look at user reputation, full of great takeaways. As with the FICO score, it is a bad idea to co-opt a reputation system for another purpose, and it dilutes the actual meaning of the score in its original context.
