open p2p design
Received a link to this online design thesis openp2pdesign.org_1.1. I like the way this thesis has been re-designed for online distribution and translated from Italian into Spanish and English to increase the spread.
openp2pdesign.o rg was born in order to publish, disseminate and develop further my thesis, and to stimulate on it a collective discussion. The intention is to render the ideas behind the thesis not as property of a single person, but to share them collectively within a community. The thesis as the first source code on which to develop a community: this is why it has been translated to English and Spanish too.
There is some material in here on Free Software in relation to design, along with some nice design ideas like the way links are represented around the body text.
Hi Seth Keen!
I’m very happy that someone so far away likes it!
Thank you very much for your post, it had been a very long work, since it was my first book design and I used only open source software like Inkscape, Gimp and Scribus.
Now you can find also another version of it on Scribd, with three different books for each language and a lot of “bugfixes”.
bye!
