Cites & Insights 8:6, June 2008, is now available for
downloading at
http://cites
andinsights.info/civ8i6.pdf.

The 28-page issue is PDF, as usual, but (since My Back Pages
is missing) all
segments are also available as HTML separates at the home
page (
http://citesandinsights
.info/)

The issue consists of:

   - *Bibs & Blather*: Quick Updates: Limits and
Slouching - A brief
   reminder of a timely essay, and a progress report about
where things stand
   on the possible 2007-2008 liblogs project.
   - *Perspective: On Wikis and Transparency* - Transparency
is great, as
   long as you're aware of it. MediaWiki makes your wiki
(and most other wikis)
   very transparent to outsiders. A good thing, but do pay
attention.
   - *(c)3 Perspective: DRM and ISP Surcharges* - Comments
on the slow death
   (?) of DRM for purchased audio downloads--and the latest
plan to assure Big
   Media of ongoing profitability.
   - *Perspective: On Semantics, Reality, Learning and
Rockstars* -
   "Reality" in this case: When is a book not a
book? Discover the connections
   between these four mini-perspectives and win yourself a
virtual candy bar!
   - *Retrospective: Pointing with Pride, Part 2* - Selected
excerpts and
   comments on issues past, another part of the centenary
celebration.
