It’s interesting to see jessamyn and Sarah Houghton both addressing a topic I posted here over a year ago, namely, the Distributed Library Project.
Despite my sentiments, the project is growing legs. In addition to the Bay Area effort (linked above), there’s a wiki related to a British effort in developing the project. On the wiki, there’s a Slashdot comment that I quoted which, to a degree, makes it seem like I am the “incensed librarian” being referenced. Not exactly, but it could have been me, if I had been clever enough to come up with a Distributed Lavatory Project.
Anyway, I think my initial reactions to the project still apply. So read ‘em, if you’re so inclined.
