Revisiting Open Source Software Development Models for Community-Based Digital Humanities Research Generation | Lane | Scholarly and Research Communication

" [...] Background: Community-based practices of open source software development offer a model for enmeshed private-public digital humanities (DH) research that can balance the demands of macro or global digital disruptive forces with the needs of everyday learning communities.

Analysis: In the space of enmeshed modes of digital communication, knowledge is not owned, since it is essentially discovery-based.

Conclusion and implications: Digital literacy is key for contemporary DH knowledge production, yet also needs to be active (not a passive information technology awareness or ability) about building, making, and improving, as well as functioning within an open environment."
