Re: [Yasmin_discussions] Next Step Publishing: closing up

Dear Yasminers,

As Salvatore reminded us that the end of this interesting discussion
is coming to an end, I have realized that I have not fulfilled my intent to
contribute.

Among the widespread threads of the discussion, it might be useful to
remember that the traditional print publishing community is seriously
concerned about how to move forward and what constitutes "the next step"
in the publishing industry. This was brought home to me at a round
table discussion we organized last year for representatives of the journal
and magazine industry at KMDI, University of Toronto. While the debate
went on for many hours, it was difficult to reach agreement and a
satisfactory conclusion re updating and implementing viable digital formats.
The struggle goes on.

In contrast the on-line format of some traditional journals (Leonardo among
them) seem to be effective. Others, originally intended for internet
publication are also
thriving. And internet dissemination of news items, including wiki-leaks
has been hugely successful.

If anybody has any last minute comments - it would be great to hear

Dear Yasminers,

we are coming to the end of our discussion on the scenarios of the next
steps of publishing.

While limited in participation, i thing that very important topics emerged,
from new possible perceptions of cities, the changing role of design, the
mutation of what we can call books, our bodies becoming one with
information, new languages, new forms of writing, new ideas for
accessibility, education and knowledge, and the scenarios of innovative
economies, relationships, forms of expression and freedoms.

We wish to give our discussants the opportunity to leave their final
remarks, and we'll be archiving the discussion by the end of the weekend.

At the end, we will also publish the interactive interface that we built as
a knowledge publishing prototype, filled with the discussion.

all my best,
Salvatore
