   Personal Comments     
      
   ----------------------     
      
   It is had been like one year since I starting to modifying the EDM/2 Wiki.   
   Nobody asked me to do so, I just started it as a Sunday afternoon activity,   
   since I got very bored on my in-laws house while my son was playing with the   
   other kids.     
      
       
      
   At that time I thought that the site already has a lot of content and was not   
   possible to add more. I was complete wrong. I added a lot of OS/2 development   
   related articles and several more links to other contents. When I started I   
   thought I was squeezing a rock, but I was amazed to see how much can be   
   squeezed out of it. Now I realize that there is much more that can be added to   
   the EDM/2 wiki and I have several pending articles/books migrations to the   
   wiki.     
      
       
      
   But I also realized the importance of putting more content under the Creative   
   Commons license of the Wiki. The Creative Commons allows derivative works, and   
   it is opportunity we have to not reinvent the wheel when we try to write   
   something technical about OS/2. Anybody can now grab the content of the wiki   
   and read it, use it and improve it, the credits remains to the authors, but   
   the content now belongs to everyone.     
      
       
      
   Any help is welcome, no matter if you can only read one article and improve   
   its spelling and display, or if you can migrate content to the wiki, or even   
   if you only have your Sunday's afternoon to collaborate.     
      
       
      
   Here are some news about the site.     
      
       
      
   Non-EDM/2 Republished Articles     
      
   -----------------------------------     
      
   There are several OS/2 and eComStation programming articles floating around.   
   When the authors authorize to republish their articles under the Creative   
   Commons license, it can be included on the wiki and the most important thing   
   of all, there are clear rules to create derivative works.     
      
       
      
   The re-published articles on the EDM/2 wiki are:

   EDM/2 Republished Articles     
      
   -----------------------------------     
      
   Since we are changing to a Wiki format, republishing permission allowing   
   derivative work for the articles has to be requested. There had been good   
   response from part of the Authors that I was able to contact. Several authors   
   (all that I was able to contact) accepted that his articles were republished   
   under the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 license to me migrated   
   to wiki site.
