anything with it.”● is this scary?

open collaboration
● what is “open collaboration”?
“...encourages and depends on contributions of self-selecting individuals or entities who are not formally associated (such as project staff and partners) with the particular cause or initiative.”
● built on (but different from) crowd-sourcing● “closed” projects may incorporate crowd-sourced
elements● open collaboration: entire project depends on “the
crowd”

technical framework
This is how the beginning of everything happened. God created the universe and everything in it in six days. At first, the earth was dark and empty, and nothing had been formed in it. But God's Spirit was there over the water.
