Finally, the Creative Commons
July 23rd, 2006The Unified New Orleans Plan web site. Click on any page and you will see the front page. People are flustered by this. There is no there there. It’s day 329. Well, it’s not the only web site that is empty around these parts.
I’m pleased, actually. They got one thing big thing right.
I’m pleased to see that the content of the UNOP will be released under the Creative Commons. There is a link to the Creative Commons license they chose. This is the only web site in New Orleans that I know of that has made this decision. The Creative Commons license tells you exactly how you can share the information.
We get a lot of email from lawyers, to our mailing lists, with stupid email disclaimers. They think they are sharing information? These disclaimers do not apply to me, of course, because I have my own disclaimer.
What ever they post at UNOP, it will be more accessible than anything posted almost anywhere else in New Orleans civic web sites.

We will be using flickr, youtube and other 3rd party sites to publish and share information as well as have the community add to the media we have on the site through flickr and youtube groups.
The hope is when the planning gets under way the site can become more flush with commentary, images, maps, podcasts, etc.
Any suggestions are appreciated.
