PubPub folk here - our landing page is pretty much 6 months past its shelf life. A rework that helps people find relevant communities is in the pipeline. In the meantime - we have a simple Explore page[1]. Some of my favorite communities ar

Great question, and one that certainly doesn't have a straightforward or trivial answer. It's definitely more of a social challenge than a technical one - making publishing free/open won't do anything to fix incentives o

Math support already there: http://i.imgur.com/tHKpNrB.png We're keen on getting good offline support added, but (as you point out) there's still a lot to be done on the web side of things. We're pushing out

PubPub here. We need cleaner documentation on this - apologies for the lack of clarity. PubPub journals (like JoDS) are no longer the publisher, but rather the curator. So, the key steps are: 1) Anybody can write and publish a document on P

PubPub here. Give us a couple weeks - we'll have a big update that 1) open sources everything, and 2) has a much cleaner create-a-journal UX. If waiting is misery, email us at pubpub@media.mit.edu, we might be able to spin up a custom

PubPub here - hopefully before March :) We weren't expecting any hacker news attention yet - so our 'launch package' (open source, better landing page, better on-boarding, etc) isn't quite finished. Watch @isPubPub for u

Doh' - a check showed that we were "load balancing" across all of 1 port. Pulled from the wrong git branch on one of our updates apparently -_-. Running through many more node instances now - hope it's up for you. Thanks

Completely correct. This is not a new idea at all. However TalkingLights had a huge bandwidth limit because they used flourescent lighting. LEDs can go to much higher speeds - but even still, this isn't new. Researchers in Japan and Boston
