Open Flows Survey 2005

upd-discuss: 2005-07-27 Hi all,

OSI is funding a research project to survey open content projects around the world and the project is  looking for someone to help  survey projects in North America, mainly via web searching. They're asking for no more than 20 hours over the next few weeks, and they  will *pay* a very decent rate. This will be a helpful dataset, and a good way to familiarize yourselves with leading edge projects. More information below. If you are interested or know someone else who might be, please contact me, davidt at public-domain dot org.

More info:

I am currently coordinating a small research project...which aims at producing a survey of open content projects in various areas around the world.

For this project, we have created a research platform and a questionnaire to asses projects. See http://oc.openflows.org. On this website there is also a defintion of what we understand as open content (basically, any material that can be used for derivative works). To see the data entered so far, simply go to the "View Research Results" section, to see the questionnaire, please create a user account and then go to "Submit Research Results".

The work, which should not require more than, say, 20 hours should be done within the next 2-3 weeks, but if need be, the deadline can be stretched a little bit.

. ..

The basic steps for the researcher are

a) locating the projects (through websearch and asking other knowledeable people)

b) finding the relevant information, if necessary contacting people who work on the project

c) fill out a questionnaire for each project.

At this phase, it's important that the researcher fills out the questionnaire him/herself, rather than simply asking the projects to do it. This will help to increase consistency in the data entry and avoid the situation that we have only self-selected entries.
