Community Memory

Community Memory was the world's first public computerized bulletin board system. It was created by Efrem Lipkin, Mark Szpakowski, and Lee Felsenstein, acting as the Community Memory Project. Lee took care of hardware, Efrem software, and Mark user interface and information husbandry. A second incarnation of Community Memory, aimed at creating a global information network, appeared in the later seventies. Its major players were Efrem Lipkin and Ken Colstad. http://www.well.com/~szpak/cm/

An example of the potential significance of the search index, no matter how simply implemented, when specific to a specific social community.

An offline digital community library

Bibliotecha is a framework to facilitate the local distribution of digital publications within a small community. It relies on a microcomputer running open-source software to serve books over a local wifi hotspot. Using the browser to connect to the library one can retrieve or donate texts. Bibliotecha proposes an alternative model of distribution of digital texts that allows specific communities to form and share their own collections.

Installation

during these day we will work through Bibliotecha's Manual in order to arrive at a number of Biblitecha installations.

We'll look into how Bibliotecha is set up and how it uses existing free-software, such as

Git
Calibre
- Calibre command-line interface
- Calibre content server
  - Memory of the World extends Calibre content server to allow books to be shared amongst users, over the wide Internet, by adding thelet's share books plugin.

lighttpd (webserver)
hostapd
custom scripts

-Bibliotecha is a software stack that allows a small community to maintain and distribute a collection of texts. It is based on the idea that a community might have a 'canonical' collection of texts that need to be easily accessed by the members.
+* lighttpd (webserver)
-It uses a Raspberry Pi to serve books over a local wifi hotspot. Once connected to the hotspot any webbrowser can be used to search the collection and retrieve books from it. Members of the community can also add books to the collection using their webbrowser.

-The collection is maintained by one or more librarians to ensure the right order of the collection.
