"we have the tools for managing calendars. We need the concepts."
My question to Jon is how can his ical scale? World University and School - like Wikipedia with MIT Open Course Ware (http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/World_University) - is potentially in all 3000 - 8000 languages (http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Languages), and with infinite open subjects (http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Subjects), all with calendars for people to teach to...
...each other. What are the limitations to ElmCity scaling? Doc, could you please ask this question, since I'm remote?
I'll do it, scott.
Thanks!
arguments go in this direction... Isn't good enough good enough?
Not sure what to do with that, but there it is.
Thanks, Doc!
Scott, I hope that did you justtice... not sure I did.
You did :)

Thanks
Thank you, Doc ... having a little trouble getting the word out about the free, open, editable World University and School :)

Hi Scott, I gave a very cursory answer to that question and I plan to elaborate in a forthcoming article because there's an interesting set of answers. Just want to make sure that I credit you properly as the question asker -- how would you like to be identified?
Thanks,
Jon
Hi Jon,
Thanks for a fascinating presentations. Here's my web site: http://scottmacleod.com
I teach a class on Harvard's virtual island in Second Life, and am the founder of World University and School _ http://worlduniversity.wikia.com - like Wikipedia with MIT OCW. ... Not sure what your article is about, though.
Nice to be in touch.
All the best,
Scott
