Dave Winer gave a very astute overview of some interesting questions facing WordPress and the overall open source community.  Here are my notes from the session:

Dave Winer: “A blog is one person’s voice.”

“Some people say, if it doesn’t have comments it’s not a blog.  That’s not true.”
2 forms of blogging
–rss title link description metadata(categories) – each blog post is an essay unto itself
–linkblogging/human aggregation(??)/microblogging (not different from linkblogging??)

“I wanted to fit in with the Netvibes/Pageflakes..” wih his RSS feed for his scripting.com blog.

“I love Twitter”

“Future-safe archives”

what about that Feedburner article (note)
open source ID sysem

“open source Twitter” — “look at the Twitter API–how can that be replicated?”

“I don’t understand Facebook…I have to accept it that people like it…don’t like that it’s a walled garden”
