Re: Academia.edu and ResearchGate

Peircers,

I've been having a good time exploring the Academia.edu and ResearchGate sites
and I'm just now caching up with last week's mail.  Other sites of this variety
are Academic Commons, the Open Educational Resources (OER) Commons, PhilPapers,
and the many projects of Michel Bauwens and the Peer2Peer (P2P) Foundation.

Academic Commons --
