David Cohn posted about our open source release at NewAssignment:
For obvious reasons open source journalism tends to focus on text and content. The long term goal, however, isn’t just to create individual articles or investigations, but develop a method for citizen journalists to collaborate online. Having an open codebase like NewsCloud’s, with customizable reader pages and nightly autoposting to blogs, will benefit the efforts of anyone trying to create a citizen journalism site. Sharing information, of all kinds, can only help the practice move forward.
Amen. Thanks David.
