The new Commontext Web site is now up and running--on Drupal. Just like Kairosnews, visitors can now comment and discuss every item on the site.

This feature will be particularly useful as more classroom texts come online: users will be able to provide instant, public feedback on any Commontext work.

The interactive features of the site will also enable a more dynamic text development process, where several contributors to a project can comment and make changes on texts, in real time.

Head on over to the site and let us know what you think!

Commontext is a publisher of open content educational texts. Right now, we're focusing on college-level composition, communication, and literature, but we eventually hope to have a library covering every discipline.

For more on Commontext and open content, see the following Kairosnews discussions from the "Open Anarchy or Closed Dictatorship" sessions last May, here, here, here, here, and here.
