Further go writings and CC-by-SA

[Charles Matthews]

I have just come across a Reddit thread about Shape Up!:

http://www.reddit.com/r/baduk/comments/ ... lly_under/

Someone there was asking about the On Your Side series.

I have actually been pretty busy just recently, finishing up a big project amongst other things. I did correspond with a few people about other possible CC-by-SA licenses. It is not the release that concerns me particularly, but getting some momentum behind it. (Shape Up! was a special case in several ways.)

So, a new thread to discuss format, repository, priorities when it comes to other go writings of mine.

Thank you very much for releasing Shape Up under CC-by-SA. It was a very nice contribution to the go community, in making that work free to redistribute and remix.

What do you mean by "getting some momentum behind it"? I'm sure the go community would gladly welcome more work released under CC-by-SA.

"Momentum" means some support, for example, for work on format, editorial work and posting of further material. Most of my go writings have been articles, and some exist already as web pages. There is actually much more, and I was looking just now at one source, http://www.britgo.org/bgj/bgj.html for the years on either side of 2000. There are articles in there that could be put into more easy circulation by someone who could edit the PDFs.

It would be quite a serious effort even to produce a list of my go articles: going back to the BGJ made me see I had totally forgotten about some of them. So I'd welcome collaborators.

Thank you for the BGJ link. I am amazed by the high quality readings, that are accessible to all of us. It would be a shame, to not let this material see the light of day again, in a clean and modern format like the GoBooks format for example. I will definitely spend some time going through the archive.

NB that the author index stops at 1998 (as far as I can see).
