Difference between revisions of "PDWiki"

The PDWiki project's goal is to build a community around publicly editing listings of copyright status of creative works. It has grown, changed, and gone through many phases to get to where its at now. It currently has three solid components (Open Library integration, PDregistry.ca, and mediawiki plugin integration) to its strategy, and has played key roles in both the CCZero and CCRegistry projects.
