Noah Brier schrijft in zijn weblog NoahBrier.com over een nieuwe en revolutionaire manier van schrijven die menigeen in verwarring gaat brengen:

Lawrence Lessig is really cool.For those that don’t know him, he’s a Stanford law professor, author and the man behind Creative Commons (the new copyright system with “some rights reserved”). In his latest move of coolness, Lessig has decided to take his book Code and Other Laws of Cyberspace and open it up for revision.Lessig explains the project in a recent post:Beginning in February, we’ll be posting Version 1 of Code to a Wiki. “Chapter Captains” will then supervise updates and corrections. Depending upon the progress, sometime near June, I will take the product and edit and rewrite it to produce Code, v2. The Wiki will stay live forever (under a Creative Commons license). The edited book will be published in the fall.I think this is an amazing and pioneering project. Lots of people are talking about citizen journalism, but this is citizen publishing. Lessig is effectively using the democratizing power of the internet to democratize publishing (at least in a small way). It take a lot to get published and Lessig is leveraging his name to help your average netizens get their thoughts into print.I think the day Code V2 is released will be an important day for the web. What will all the librarians say about internet research after that book is released? All of a sudden there’s this book that will have been written collaboratively by all these random people that (most likely) is far more authoritative than most of the other books on the subject (and the whole thing will be available online . . . for free).
