Recently I've been working on the literature review segment of the project. This is basically background reading on various things that relate to what I'm doing. This has ranged from looking at other sites involved with online publishing or collaboration to reading up things like social software and how it works. It's currently a work in progress and can be found in two Google documents. The first contains anything I've taken from articles and papers I've read (and one video I've watched). The second contains my observations of various sites. They're both full of links, so further information can be found. They'll eventually be turned into full pieces of writing, like my piece on moderation systems (which is also part of this review, though was originally done separately). As usual, comments are welcome.
In other news, I've been thinking about site documentation. I've decided it could work well in wiki form. This could also work for things like the writing advice pages. I'm going to look into how this could be set up and think about how access could be controlled (such as only allowing users with a certain level of participation in the site wiki access). Let me know what you think and whether the wiki should be public, semi-public or private.

Open Words began as my final project for my MA. It is intended to be a website where people can share their creative writing work. The idea behind the site is that it will provide tools that will enable an in-depth discussion of the work shared, as well as promoting openness and community.
This blog will chronicle the development of the website and provides a place where anyone can provide feedback on what I'm doing. In this way, it adheres to the principles of openness and collaboration that I wish to use in the final site/community.
