How do issues such as authorship, copyright and open access impact your desire, ability and willingness to engage in produsage, both personally and professionally?
Personally, these issues don't impact my desire to engage.
Professionally, however, I am concerned about open access without quality control. Florida is moving forward with Orange Grove Text Plus (http://www.theorangegrove.org/open_textbooks.asp), a repository of textbooks that are available to faculty and students free of charge. Currently, there is no quality control and the textbooks in the repository are just those that have been found on the web or shared freely. Without peer review or some type of content review there is a likelihood that not all textbooks are high quality.
