Hello, First, I would like to offer a big thank you to Rob for his thought provoking post. I think that there are lot's of practical hooks here and I would like to take advantage of them. I concur with Rob's third postulate
Postulate number three: Whether open source or proprietary, it's all about the boundaries ofcustomization.
but I have some practical questions.
It is not uncommon for an institution that is considering the adoption of OSS to cite customization as a major factor in their decision making. In fact, one of the major themes that came out of this Series (Impact of OSS and OER on Education) was the benefits that could be derived from FLOSS through localization. Does anybody have anything to offer about how to take advantage of the potential to customize without “forking.” (examples would be great) Or, under what circumstances is it appropriate to fork a project?
What is the role of open standards?
