What's the purpose of CIRAL?
Isn't all the work that CIRAL would undertake already done at Evergreen?
Why is Evergreen a good site for CIRAL?
How can other people and organizations get involved with CIRAL?
Frequently Asked Question about the Open Text Book project
What's the purpose of this project?
We are trying to create an Open Text book on Civic Intelligence — the first as far as we know.
Who should use this book?
Everybody! But some people are more likely candidates than others.
Is it true that students are creating this book?
Yes! As we speak, students in the Civic Intelligence: Research and Practice program at The Evergreen State College are entering their thoughts into this Wiki.
When will you be done with this project?
Although the project may never be "done", we hope to make some good progress this quarter which ends the first week in June, 2011. Realistically ??? Perhaps a class or two may decide to use the book in some way as early as August or September, 2011.
How will you transfer the Wiki text into book form?
Presumably the ultimate aim is a pdf. And hopefully there are tools that can convert Wiki text into more book-like materials. But — we don't how we're going to do it yet.
