Does anyone else read the writings, academic and otherwise, on organized labor & information technology? I volunteer to start a running annotated bibliography of union/information technology papers and essays (below). A wiki would be the best format for this, but anyone that can contribute to this, please do.
Moderator: maybe this could become a top-level book?

GREAT POST
Thanks for that list, I appreciate your taking the time and effort to provide this resource. I'm finding it very valuable specifically relating to "Open Source Unionism".

Yes, let's get more organized
Got your e-mail. Yeah, I've been wanting to look into a wiki solution. There's a big demand for it from at least one other person I know.
I'd be interested in pursuing the idea of improving the wiki feature here on CoD. I will investigate this further.
One of my resolutions is to give the CoD some more love. The community seems to be doing fairly well but I think I could help it along with some more attention. So I'm happy to try to help make a labor wiki a reality.
