We've been working hard on the fc-hackers list and we're pleased to announce our new project!
*NotesHub* (http://noteshub.org/) is a place where students can share notes, papers and other educational materials with each other. The content here is 100% free and 100% submitted by students. You can read more about the project at the about page: http://noteshub.org/about/ We need your help! The best thing you can do is upload all your old notes and papers! The next best thing you can do it post about it on your Facebook page or on Twitter! It's a great starting point for bringing up a discussion of Free Culture on your campus. If you're on any other free culture mailing lists, maybe you could forward this announcement to them, too! If you're super cool, you can write about it for your college newspaper (just write the main points of the article of yourself, then give it to the somebody on the newspaper staff - they'll normally just run it without changing too much at all - post back here if you have any results!) This is just the first iteration, just so we had something to show at the conference, but it opens a lot of room for discussion about features in future. I'd like to see better organization and search (but we need more content before we can work on that) and a way to take notes directly on the site (EtherPad style) - or perhaps as a plugin for OpenOffice. Hopefully there will be a session about NotesHub and other FC-Hackers projects at the conf this weekend! Again, that URL was: http://noteshub.org/ Thanks guys, see you this weekend! Rich
