OneCommons is an open source project that seeks to unleash the power of knowledge-sharing online. Our goal is to help people to understand their world by enabling them to get accurate, valuable information as determined by the collective opinion of knowledgeable, trusted individuals.
We’re just getting started. Our strategy for realizing this ambitious long-term vision is to build practical software and services in the short-term. If you’re a developer, check out Vesper, our application framework for enabling content from disparate sources to be replicated and recombined in a consistent and composable manner. And if you want to help create a unique knowledge-sharing web application, sign up as an alpha tester by dropping us an email at invite@onecommons.org.
We’ll be unveiling a lot more in the coming weeks and months — check back soon or follow us on Twitter at @onecommons for updates.
