[liberationtech] Academia.edu and possible alternatives

[Yosem Companys]

From: Francesca Musiani <francesca.musiani at gmail.com>

Mathieu O'Neil and I, from a personal viewpoint and also as members of the
editorial board of the Journal of Peer Production, would like to support
Rob's proposal to set up a "p2p online social network" for academics as an
alternative to academia.edu, and remain available to discuss this further.
We believe that this could be a significant advance for the commons, as
well as a possible way to channel towards volunteer projects the funding
that is indeed starting to become available for open access. We look
forward to further discussions.

Kind regards,
