This community wiki is created to allow collaboration and discussion among Open Library users.
Introduction
On March 1, 2013 [[/people/kcoyle|Karen]] wrote in an email:
[[/people/brewster|Brewster]] has encouraged me to encourage the idea of creating a working community around OL -- folks who can participate in making changes and fostering sharing. That's all the guidance I have, so I'm assuming that we have to do the heavy lifting to make it happen. Can we work together on a proposal?
Communicating
It was suggested that ideas be constructed and collected on this wiki, but that discussion is easier on the mailing lists.
Mailing lists
There are three mailing lists:
-
ol-discuss for general questions and discussion; sign up to ol-discuss or read/search the archives
-
ol-tech for technical questions and discussion; sign up to ol-tech or read/search the archives
- ol-lib for discussions about "librarianship"; sign up to ol-lib (there are no archives for ol-lib)
This wiki
List of current pages:

To create a new page, type the address (e.g. [[/community/important-topic]]) in your browser's address bar, append ?m=edit
and go. The page will automatically appear in the above list.
IRC
Some people sometimes or regularly [[/community/irc|log in to the #openlibrary channel]] on Freenode to quickly discuss problems or ideas that are more or less related to Open Library.
