Open Library Project Takes Flight

Aaron Swartz today announced the launch of the new Open Library project. The goal of the project is to produce the world’s greatest library on the Internet free for anyone to use. Starting with the Internet Archive’s book scanning project and organising the insertion of new content via a wiki-type model the project seems to be off to a great start. The demo, source code, and mailing lists were all opened up today in hopes of drawing interest from the public at large — via Slashdot
