What content should go in the library portion of the site? #3

Open devinhalladay opened 6 years ago

devinhalladay commented 6 years ago

I'm struggling to figure out what sorts of things belong in the library portion of the Public Domain website.

Should it be many types of content that are related in some way to public space/public discourse/open source things? Or should it just be things dealing with culture and openness broadly speaking?

Should I have books? PDFs? Essays? Videos? Images? Music? All of the above?

Where do I source this content from? Do I need to gather it all myself or can I source it from an existing database or website?

Maybe I can just scrape content from Monoskop? Their content seems conceptually aligned with Public Domain and since they already have it categorized I can focus on the design & experience rather than the content itself.

Anyone have thoughts on this? Thumbs up or down if u agree or disagree!

That seems like an option — better to spend time on the high level figuring out than just collecting content, at least at first, it should reveal where to go next/what to gather next
