在讀完 Paul Graham 所撰寫的 “beating the averages” 一文後(having something to do with LISP language), I was wondering whether blogging is FILTERING the world that I am aware of(ah, yes, 著相！).

上週，主要的亞洲與大洋洲平面傳播媒體，可能只有兩家在 headline(標題) 中提到 “blog”:

2. The Southland Times (New Zealand), February 13, 2003, Thursday, FEATURES; OPINION;, Pg. 13;, Online, 674 words, The phenomenon that is ‘blogging’, HARDY Glynn
如果將觀察的時間範圍提早到今日起的上個月內，那可以再加三份新聞來源…

雖然 “blog” 一字在亞洲各語文間，或許有不同的譯名(如台灣的『部落格』或中國的『博客』)，但能見度如此之低，這會是什麼原因所造成的？是這股 blogging 的風潮威脅到亞洲各傳統平面傳媒的『權威性』所致？
英國的兩大新聞來源在今日報導了 Google 收購 Pyra Labs 的消息：

2. The Guardian (London), February 18, 2003, Guardian Leader Pages, Pg. 19, 287 words, Powerful pairing: A match made in bloggersphere heaven
非英語系國家在 blog 的發展上，有什麼別於英語系國家的特性？Ricebowl Journals 嘗試蒐錄部落格，並提供使用者登記自身國籍和現居地。除了這個還可稱為 meta site 的 community 之外, 位在台灣的 blog.elixus.org, 是否有機會引領部分潮流，創造新的 blogging sphere? 天充文化的倒閉(from zonble.idv.st)，是否為 the creative commons(具有創意的公眾們) 指出另一個出發點？
自從 google 確定要把 blogger.com 買下之後, Userland “似乎”也開始有些動作。Dave Winer(Userland 大老)暗示說：
“I wouldn’t be surprised if the other popular blogging tools had similar deals cooking. Not much more to say at this time. Except…”
此外, Jeff Jarvis 也是這次併購幕後不可或缺的推手. And, 別忘了 Larry Page 茶餘飯後的談話。

Title
Why open source software can succeed
Click to access rp-bonaccorsirossi.pdf
Abstract
The paper discusses three key economic problems raised by the emergence
and diffusion of open source software: motivation, coordination, and diffusion under a dominant standard. First the movement took off through the activity of a software development community that deliberately did not follow profit motivations. Second, a hierarchical coordination emerged without the support of an organization with proprietary rights.
Third, Linux and other open source systems diffused in an evnvironment dominated by established proprietary standards, which benefited from significant increasing returns. The paper show that recent developments in the theory of critical mass in the diffusion of technologies with network externality may help to explain these phenomena.

Satisfying Heterogeneous User Needs via Innovation Toolkits: The Case of
Apache Security Software
Click to access rp-vonhippelfranke.pdf
Abstract
Manufacturers customarily provide only a few product variants to address the average needs of users in the major segments of markets they serve. When user needs are highly heterogeneous, this approach leaves many seriously dissatisfied. One solution is to enable users to modify products on their own using innovation toolkits.?We explore the effectiveness of this solution in an empirical study of Apache security software. We find high heterogeneity of need in that field, and also find that users modifying their own software to be significantly more satisfied than non- innovating users. We propose that the user toolkits solution will be useful in many markets characterized by heterogeneous
demand.d.onality on offer. We also find that users creating their own software modifications are significantly more satisfied than are non-innovating users. We conclude by suggesting that the “toolkits for user innovation” approach to enhancing user satisfaction might be generally applicable to markets characterized by heterogeneous user needs.

Motivation of Software Developers in Open Source Projects: An Internet-based Survey of Contributors to the Linux Kernel
Click to access rp-hertelniednerherrmann.pdf
Abstract:
The motives of 141 contributors to a large Open Source Software project(the Linux kernel) was explored with an internet-based questionnaire study. Measured factors were both derived from discussions within the Linux community as well as from models from social sciences. Participants’ engagement was particularly determined by their identification as a Linux developer, by pragmatic motives to improve own software, and by their tolerance of time investments. Moreover, some of the software development was accomplished by teams. Activities in these teams were particularly determined by participants?evaluation of the team goals as well as by their perceived indispensability and self-efficacy.

Guarding the Commons: How Community Managed Software Projects Protect
Their Work
Click to access rp-omahony.pdf
Abstract:
Theorists often speculate why open source and free software project contributors give their work away. Although contributors make their work publicly available, they do not forfeit their rights to it. Community managed software projects protect their work by using several legal and normative tactics, which should not be conflated with a disregard for or neglect of intellectual property rights. These tactics allow a project intellectual property to be publicly and freely available and yet, governable. Exploration of this seemingly contradictory state may provide new insight into governance models for the management of digital intellectual property.

Community, Joining, and Specialization in Open Source Software
Innovation: A Case Study
Click to access rp-vonkroghspaethlakhani.pdf
Abstract:
This paper develops an inductive theory of the open source software
innovation process by focussing on the creation of Freenet, a project
aimed at developing a decentralized and anonymous peer-to- peer
electronic file sharing network. We are particularly interested in the
strategies and processes by which new people join the existing community
of software developers, and how they initially contribute code.
Analyzing data from multiple sources on the Freenet software development
process, we generate the constructs of “joining script”,
“specialization”, “contribution barriers”, and “feature gifts”, and
propose relationships among these. Implications for theory and research
are discussed.

How Open is Open Enough? Melding Proprietary and Open Source Platform
Strategies
Abstract:
Computer platforms provide an integrated architecture of hardware and
software standards as a basis for developing complementary assets. The
most successful platforms were owned by proprietary sponsors that
controlled platform evolution and appropriated associated rewards.
Responding to the Internet and open source systems, three traditional
vendors of proprietary platforms experimented with hybrid strategies
which attempted to combine the advantages of open source software while
retaining control and differentiation. Such hybrid standards strategies
reflect the competing imperatives for adoption and appropriability, and
suggest the conditions under which such strategies may be preferable to
either the purely open or purely proprietary alternatives.

Gift economies in the development of open source software:
Anthropological reflections
Click to access rp-zeitlyn.pdf
Building on Eric Raymond work this article discusses the motivation
and rewards that lead some software engineers to participate in the open
source movement. It is suggested that software engineers in the open
source movement may have sub-groupings which parallel kinship groups
such as lineages. Within such groups gift giving is not necessarily or
directly reciprocated, instead members work according to the xiom of
kinship amity??direct economic calculation is not appropriate within
the group. What Bourdieu calls ymbolic capital?can be used to
understand how people work in order to enhance the reputation (of
themselves and their group).

Title:
Re-working by the Linux Kernel developers
Abstract:
Technology design is generally a matter of re-working existing systems
rather than the designing of entirely novel artifacts. In this paper I
explore part of a computer operating system called Linux that is
designed to be re-worked by its users, a process I call ‘designing for
redesign’. I examine the practices of reworking within this development
effort using some concepts gleaned from activity theory, a
meta-theoretical model that particularly focuses on the simultaneously
material and conceptual aspects of artifacts. This work is two- fold;
first to examine design as part of a larger activity of re-working, and
second, to begin to put together a model of socio-technical activity
that incorporates the complex epistemological and ontological conditions
that characterize current human conditions. Understanding the sociality
and materiality of “knowing” and “doing” in technologized society means
unpacking what we mean when we talk of ‘access’ and understanding ‘use’
as often an activity of re-working.

An Overview of the Software Engineering Process and Tools in the Mozilla
Project
Click to access reismozilla.pdf
Abstract:
The Mozilla Project is an Open Source Software project which is
dedicated to development of the Mozilla Web browser and application
framework. Possessing one of the largest and most complex communities of
developers among Open Source projects, it presents interesting
requirements for a software process and the tools to support it. Over
the past four years, process and tools have been refined to a point
where they are both stable and effective in serving the project needs.
This paper describes the software engineering aspect of a large Open
Source project. It also covers the software engineering tools used in
the Mozilla Project, since theMozilla process and tools are intimately
related. These tools include Bugzilla, a Web application designed for
bug tracking, bug triage, code review and correction; Tinderbox, an
automated build and regression testing system; Bonsai, a tool which
performs queries to the CVS code repository; and LXR, a hypertext-based
source code browser.

Title
A Framework for Open Source Projects
Abstract:
The historical roots of Open Source are outlined. A comparison between
Open Source projects and classical projects highlights strengths and
weaknesses of both, and defines their attributes. Existing Open Source
theories are evaluated, and the requirements for a framework for Open
Source projects are determined. The framework introduces the notions of
actors, roles, areas, processes and tools, and depicts their
interrelationships in a matrix. Each aspect of the framework is then
further developed to serve both as a conceptual foundation for Open
Source and a help for organizing and managing Open Source projects.

The Economics of Free Software for a Competitive Firm
Abstract:
This paper builds a simple economic model of the profit seeking firm
with a choice between producing an open source and proprietary
solutions. Differences between public and viral licenses are discussed
from the firm’s perpective. Advocacy issues are omitted entirely, and
the model requires no math beyond subtraction. The decision of a firm to
adopt an open source product rather than purchase is also discussed, but
is seen as a trivial and uninteresting problem.

Using Weblogs in your business environment can increase employee communication and knowledge, save time and resources, and build reputation and confidence.
Weblogs 的使用We’re not talking server logs here; the Weblogs we’re talking about are topical, frequently updated Web pages powered by knowledgeable contributors. Drop the notion of blogs as vanity sites for high school diarists and time-wasting black holes made by wannabe writers. Blogs can be anything. It’s up to you to make them useful. You might pass along a useful Web site or an article to friends and co-workers via e-mail. And your colleagues might do the same. The good part is that’s a lot of distributed knowledge. The bad part is there’s no organization or centralization of the knowledge.
You and your colleagues could be posting that information to a company blog. Then everyone would have a filtered repository that was constantly updated with relevant articles and opinions. It would be archived, searchable and available anywhere you had an Internet connection. It could even be categorized by topic, date and/or author. And it could be formatted for XML syndication, e-mail delivery, PDAs, even cell phones.
I maintain two blogs at my company. Both are valuable to my co-workers, but it goes beyond that. One, which links to business resources on the Web, is proving to be valuable to our customers. The other, which links to information design and visual thinking resources, is considered essential to students and professionals in fields similar to ours.
These blogs are not only knowledge builders, they’re reputation builders. Since 1999, a targeted audience from all over the world has visited my company’s Web site to read the latest postings. With help from some contributors and other blogs, we’ve filtered the best resources on the Web for our employees, our customers and our industry.
One of the biggest complaints in the business world is “too much e-mail.” E-mail is crucial, but individuals don’t sort, save or delete it in the same way. This makes sharing and retrieval of information difficult in large corporate environments. A blog ensures that no messages get deleted or lost.
A blog can keep everyone up to date on projects without clogging in-boxes. It also can provide an archive of mistakes and milestones that could be shared with other teams undertaking similar projects.
You could be using blogs in many ways: as internal and/or external company blogs filled with competitor, industry and/or company news; crisis management, product and sales updates; Web resources; network information; and resources for customers.

問：所以女生款的車：如意、心情、小丸子…才要配鼓煞？到底是女生真的普遍都這樣呢..還是只是世俗對女生的偏見？以前曾教女生用碟煞，還是有教到可以煞得很順的。
答：這個討論主題已經 divides 到兩個層面，一個是 tempest 的原問，另一個是女性 cognition abilities 問題。 tempest 的問題有點複雜，我們可能要花時間想一下。不過，關於 jeekid 提出的『還是只是世俗對女生的偏見』，這裡剛好有一本文獻，可以引過來參考。

騎乘的過程中，主要包含了兩種認知方面的能力，其一是 Motor Skills, 另外一個是 Spatial Abilities.
Motor skills 在真實世界的展現(display), 最主要的是 accuracy of aiming objects at a target(瞄準目標的精準度). 主觀方面牽涉到受測者的視覺與 muscle manipulation(肌肉的控制)。
Spatial abilities 則是對於空間的呈現方式的認知能力。空間可以是開放、封鎖、連動…等等。大家國高中不是做過智力測驗？把三維物體用兩維空間呈現，並且要求測試者作一些相關的測驗嗎？
Motor skills combined with spatial abilities, 就是可以針對這個主題(jeekid 所提出)的切入點。
以這一本 Sex and Cognition 呈現的實驗結果來說, motor skills, 男性在比較大的 magnitude 普遍優於女性；女性則是在 minute scale 上佔優勢(如穿針引線)。
Spatial abilities, 研究的結果是，總和男性優於女性。但學齡前教育的影響，仍不可忽視。
可以再加一個 Perception 的認知能力。但這樣一來就要同時討論三個變數，難度太高。
所以我的結論是，至少到現在為止，那是偏見，但還是有相當的理論和實驗基礎的, but it’s probably not innate.

Whereas it is necessary to draw up precisely and uniformly the definitions applying to these vehicles (mopeds, motorcycles, motor tricycles and quadricycles) and more particularly the definition of a moped since there are 15 different definitions of this type of vehicle in the 12 Member States; whereas such a large number of definitions, which in practice mean the same number of vehicle categories, raise major barriers to trade since products need to be tailored to their markets, and thus constitute a fragmentation of the moped market…
所以譯名的統一是必要的，否則在相關的立法上，會很難推動。這是基礎工程。很可惜的是，車界、法律界、學界…等等，似乎還沒注意到這個影響長遠的問題。

根據民生報(2003-02-14 A4 生活新聞)的報導，交通部於本月13日邀集財團法人車輛安全研究中心、機車業者等單位開會討論 Honda 希望交通部放寬機車長度限制，引進 Goldwing 的訴求。我沒有在場，所以無法完整得知與會各代表之立場與發言情形為何。但根據民生報的報導(註：報導是事實的描述，不是事實)，我們可以明顯看到交通部自相矛盾，不知何以繼之管理相關車輛的矛盾。
首先有爭議的是這一部份：
交通部表示，據現有資料顯示，歐盟的機車長度上限是四公尺，韓國過去規定二點五公尺，但目前已經放寬；其他國家則因為有三輪腳踏車、三輪機車等多種機車，種類繁複而未對長度設限。
這不是事實，對於其他國家相關規定限制(機車長度)的調查，陳述也過於潦草。不知交通部的資料是哪個單位提供的。 【記者謝佳雯／報導】
超長的重型機車上路很拉風，不過，進入國內的腳步還要再緩一緩。一家汽車業者擬引進長度達二點六三公尺、售價一百二十六萬的機車，超出法規上限，雖然業者希望法規能適度放寬，但交通部認為機車長度放寬涉及停車、路權等問題，必須再詳加研究，暫時不予放寬。
我國於去年七月開放一百五十西西以上重型機車進口，部分業者陸續引進或製造新款重型機車，但受到國內路幅窄、車又多的限制，市場主力仍鎖定二百五十西西以下的機車，尚未出現國外頗為常見的豪華型重型機車。
不過，日前有一家汽車業者引進一款一千八百西西的重型機車，售價一百二十六萬元，身價雖比多數的小汽車還高貴，卻因長度長達二點六三公尺，無法通過國內的型式認證，而不能上市，業者因此希望交通部放寬法定的機車長度二點五公尺上限，讓這款重型機車能上市銷售。
為此，交通部昨天邀集財團法人車輛安全研究中心、機車業者等單位開會討論，會中，同樣生產重型機車的 BMW 代表認為，台灣的交通環境不適合超長型的重型機車進口，並不贊成放寬法令。
交通部表示，據現有資料顯示，歐盟的機車長度上限是四公尺，韓國過去規定二點五公尺，但目前已經放寬；其他國家則因為有三輪腳踏車、三輪機車等多種機車，種類繁複而未對長度設限。
與會單位認為，台灣的交通環境與其他國家不同，若超長的重型機車進入國內，上路後，還要符合兩段式左轉的行駛要求，可能會有安全顧慮；另現有的寬一點五公尺、長二點五公尺機車停車格繪設標準，也無法應付其停車需求，交通部最後決定暫緩開放，待收集更多相關資料後再決定。
Dan Gillmor 在 專欄(聖荷西水星報) 中提到 Google 已經買下 blogger.com 母公司 (Pyra) 的訊息，這不啻是為整個 bloggging sphere 投下重大的變數(now it’s getting fuzzier and harder to predict the curve)。
Synergy and consilience? Google 主管還在想 blogging 和 googling 要怎麼結合：
Nick Denton asks: “Will Google use weblog links to improve Google News?” I asked Google’s spokesman roughly the same question, but got no answer. Stay tuned, he said, because the company is just starting to figure out how it’s going to use this stuff.
新的 googlism 會是 “glogging(個落格)” 嗎？

Paypal, 網路上最大的小額付費機制，昨日(Feb.13)寄發給會員新的 user agreement(海外版). 我使用 paypal 大概有一年多的時間，因此被特赦在下次登入的六十日之內，決定是否同意新的條款。若不同意，只好吃自己的。懷疑新條款我們這些善良的人類(no robot-agent)是否能解讀：
Re-organize the information into 1) a User Agreement that sets out the basic legal relationship between you and PayPal, and 2) various Policies that set the rules for how the PayPal service works. This reorganization is intended to help you more easily understand your legal rights and obligations and to help you find answers to your questions on our various services more quickly. It also is intended to make the format of our User Agreement more consistent with that of our parent company, eBay.
Update our arbitration clause in order to clarify your dispute resolution alternatives in the event that you have a dispute that cannot be resolved through normal customer service channels.
Paypal 在去年底已由 ebay 所併購，並且與原來的付費機制(ebay payment)整合。另外，電子灣(ebay)在台灣這邊併購力傳資訊的過程相當不順利，一直到現在，雖然拍賣介面有所地域化，但仍是難以回天。這個消息對去年八月底趕來台灣的總裁 Meg Whitman 而言，絕對是第二記巴掌(第一記為 ebay 退出日本市場)。
Paypal(now an ebay’s company) 這種動不動就修改使用者同意條款的舉措，相當令人感冒。雖然我會安慰自己說『使用者的眼睛或許是雪亮的』，但不要忘記的是『行為則是被綁標的』。我還在研究 c2it, 看是否能為自己的最後尊嚴作解套。

其實還有另外一個，『因應150cc 以上重型機車開放進口領照後，我國機車車輛管理相關法規制度配合調整之研究』委外研究計劃。
2) 基本上，參加投標的資格限制極嚴，看來看去最有可能得標者為，
a) 交通部運輸研究所
其他可能參加競標者，
b) 台大土木工程學研究所交通工程組
c) 交通大學運輸工程與管理學系
d) 逢甲大學交通工程與管理學系
e) 成功大學交通管理學系
f) 淡江大學交通管理學系
g) 中央大學土木系運輸工程組
h) 財團法人中華顧問工程司
i) 鼎漢國際工程顧問公司
j) 其他(不是很清楚，有人可以提供資訊嗎？)
所以說啦，大部分的網友跟上述的單位都沒有什麼關係，因此雖然mopher兄建議網友參加競標作業，但實際上恐有相當程度的困難。不過mopher兄有提到一點，小弟個人認為是值得參考的，就是『火力對準公部門..』此一觀點。
不過說實在的，只是寫信去交通部並不會引起多大的注意。前一陣子不是有網友將交通部的回信貼出來嗎？那一封交通部的回函內文，恐怕很多人都只是看頭看尾，然後就不知要如何針對交通部的回函說明內文再次進行回覆吧？
小弟個人是認為，欲從制度面體制內著手，首要條件則是必須先了解現有制度，了解之後才有辦法兔交通部的草。不過，如此途徑好像相當的吃力不討好，有時兩面都會不是人。
3)『雖然我詳閱競標公告之後發現,我們未來重車規則的制定者可能根本不騎重車』。
這點是蠻可以確定的，至少，從無到有，相關法規制定之『初』時的情況很可能會如這樣子。北歐西歐北美諸國，數十年前開始認真面對摩托問題時，那些當時掌有權力，可以操不知多少摩托之生死大權者，大多皆非『圈內』人士(騎士)。等到各國摩托權益組織前仆後繼，『無所不用其極』，體制內外舉辦活動研習研討聚會，數十年後才爭取到應有的地位，摩托地位情況才大有改善，政府相關單位的主其事者也漸漸與摩托界的關係益形密切。
各國殷鑒不遠，眼看台灣摩托又將步入同樣的歷史途徑，這種感覺是很奇怪的。不過，這又好像是生命中不可逃避之過程乎？Help!!
4) 『可以努力進入公部門來改革制度』。
來不及吧？小小職等也難憾山河。我同意你的信念，但不認為你所提出的方式可行。倒不如運用現有基礎和人力，既然重車開放猶如箭在弦上，社會賢達車界資深人士可以使用不同的方法和途徑獻策。不過要以個人的單槍匹馬可能無疾而終，團體是需要的。乍聽起來好像沒啥小路用，可是放棄參與制定政策過程的機會，說起來是蠻可惜的。現不為之，過幾年社會就可能要開始付出相當大的成本來彌補今日之苟且擬法。君不見此等情事每日上演不墜？:(
民間的形形色色摩托團體或個人在這個議題上，不知道以前曾經使用過什麼樣的方法？板上的前輩們提供一些資訊吧!!Please~~~
5) 『可以寫學術論文來突顯這個現象』
這是蠻難的，原因有好幾個：
a) 研究者如欲撰寫相關議題論文，國內可供參考的的資源相當不樂觀。我曾經檢索過數十年來台灣地區博碩士論文中研究主題與『機車』或『摩托車』和『速克達』有關的所有上架論文，沒有一篇是跟這個領域扯的上關係的。沒有，一篇都沒有。有人知道的話請告訴我，我想借出來看一看說。^^
比較類似，探討摩托與社會現象的研究要目如下，我不是記的很清楚：
i) 車廠推陳出新車體外觀與青少年的消費習性關係(好像是大葉工業設計研究所？)
ii) 民眾對安全帽與安全帶使用特性及規定實施滿意度之研究，交大交通運輸研究所
相關的論文很少有探討到社會現象的，不過對於安全帽的研究論文倒是有一大堆。
b) 國外也很少有探討『排氣限制下』的摩托社會現象的相關報告或論文。因此研究生真要撰寫一篇突顯重車開放與未開放的這個問題，連國外的資料都很不好找，因為據我所知，有排氣限制的國家在世界上應該是極為少數。所以基本上是沒有什麼人會作這方面的研究。我也曾經試著到美國的Department of Transportation(DOT)圖書館查館內自五六零年代收錄有關motorcycle的各國研究報告，找了好久，是有台灣留學生研究台灣的摩托與社會現象，但是就是找不到跟重車有關的。
c) 北歐諸國常常會舉辦一些跨國際的心理學或社會學研討會，前一陣子我才遇到一個準備要去某一研討會發表『摩托心理』的挪威博士後研究員。美國的Temple University人類學系所也有一位大學女生剛發表一份名為，
『Reading, Riding, and Resistance: Responses of Women Motorcyclists to Images of Women in the Motorcycle Press』的論文。
以人類學的角度來探討摩托雜誌上物化女性的這個現象，對於女性騎士所造成的觀感影響。這個女的自己本身就是摩托騎士(Catherine M. Leonard-Blackley)。
之所以舉這兩個例子的原因是，要研究這個問題通常要有很紮實的社會學和心理學的背景，最好是擁有跨領域的才能和才華。一般而言，以台灣的現象來說，會真正接觸摩托的人通常是男性，對於重車有研究的，又有能力和資源寫相關論文的騎士，為數就不是很多了。再加上要有跨領域的認知，不怕這一篇論文寫下去從此被打入冷宮，那又更少了。總要顧慮到未來的出路吧？最後是研究資源少的可以，當然，數十年來幾乎不曾出現探討這個現象的專文論述，這個狀況好像就不是很難理解了。

沒有看到的原因如前所述，難找自是有因。不過，往者已矣，來者可追。有重車的車友努力吧，我還只有一台速克達哩。
交通部運研所有出版一本叫做『150CC以上機車於國內開放產銷之衝擊研究』的報告。
這一份報告超級重要，將會是未來制定政策的指標。看過之後我個人覺得寫的其實蠻不好的，正準備好好給它兔草一下。有興趣的人可以從運研所網站下載這一份報告：
http://www.iot.gov.tw/chinese/download/report/subject/S8717.zip
檔名為S8717.ZIP，大小278KB，格式word 97。
不然台北的話可以去正中還是三民的政府機關圖書出版處洽購，高雄可以去青年書局(印象中？)，地域性的各大圖書館應該找的到，國家圖書館官書區也有。一本索價兩百元。
我不是政府官員。:P
先針對您的『一個重車車友反對開放的心聲』最後四分之一段作些回應，算是個人小小的意見囉。也希望您能不吝繼續指教，謝謝。:)
