Clay Shirky: Institutions vs. collaboration
Monday, July 14, 2008
This is a rather interesting talk that takes some very foundational ideas from open source software development, P2P networks, and social networking and implies that these paradigms can apply to a lot more.

Software...Nano .nanorc...
Nano is a very simple and easy to use console editor derived from the likes of pico. Back in the old days, the pico and pine combo was the ultimate Linux mail viewer. Nano has come a long way with features, but still has the same look and feel- simple, fast and easy. Granted, it's no emacs or vi, but it's pretty dang common and arguably easier to use for the novice. Anyhow, I've attached a .nanorc file I've been using over in the event somebody might make some updates to it or find it useful. It has a good start for C++ syntax highlighting.
