1.1 | 1 | A variety of website improvements have been [[proposed/requested by Luis on the license-discuss list>>url:http://projects.opensource.org/pipermail/license-discuss/2013-July/001031.html]]. Working drafts for the page revisions are linked here so that they can be discussed/reviewed/improved: |

1.2 | 3 | == What is Open Source? == |
| 4 | |||
| 5 | We lack a single page that defines open source (as opposed to defining criteria for open source licenses). It has been suggested that [[opensource.com/resources/what-open-source>>url:http://opensource.com/resources/what-open-source]] and[[ http:~~/~~/onlamp.com/pub/a/onlamp/2005/09/29/what-is-free-software.html>>url:http://onlamp.com/pub/a/onlamp/2005/09/29/what-is-free-software.html]] might be good references in drafting this page. | ||

1.2 | 23 | |
| |
3.1 | 24 | * The [[current bibliography>>url:http://opensource.org/links]] is solid but has not been updated since 2005. |
| |
10.1 | 25 | * The [[Open Source Bibliography>>doc:Main.Projects.OSI Website Page Improvements.Open Source Bibliography.WebHome]] wiki page lists more books and articles for use in updating the OSI page. |

1.2 | 35 | |
| |
9.1 | 36 | * [[License application HOWTO>>doc:Main.Projects.OSI Website Page Improvements.How to apply an open source license to your project.WebHome]] We lack a good HOWTO for applying licensing information. Such a thing could link to [[SFLC's guide on the subject>>url:https://www.softwarefreedom.org/resources/2012/ManagingCopyrightInformation.html]] (or Karl Fogel's [[brief one in his book Producing OSS>>url:http://producingoss.com/en/license-quickstart.html#license-quickstart-applying]]) but it should probably be useful on its own. |
