This meeting in Geneva was on the form of a successor project, dubbed the Accessible Book Consortium ("ABC," of course). The ABC would wrap together efforts such as TIGAR as a sharing portal, capacity building efforts for countries trying to create accessible book services and looking at issues like licensing.

I spread the word that Bookshare.org is now available to people outside the United States, albeit with only 3,000 copyrighted books today instead of 35,000, because we need to get permission from publishers and authors to share their books outside the U.S. I posted these on my Flickr site with creative commons licenses (of course)!

So, of course I wanted to remix it. I really, really, really wanted to put a smile emoticon :-) in the face but damn it isn't licensed under Creative Commons By License.
