[Web4lib] More on the Open Content Alliance

[Enrico Silterra]

I search on words I am looking at and I get "no hits".
I open the opening page, and I get a message from IE that there
are javascript errors.

ditto on:
Whatever happened to good old fashioned straight HTML, eh?

This seems like a very worthwhile project, but as a presentation
of the concepts behind the projects, I don't get positive feelings.

just my 2 yoctocents,
Rick Silterra
