"How many times as a reporter or analyst have i heard the bull---- answer that a company won't talk about its technology programs because of 'competitive advantage' "

RedMonk: James Governor hands out props to Elsevier, a scientific publisher he credits as understanding the value of making open source contributions. The publisher just announced the xqdoc.org project designed to standardize and automate XQuery documentation. "Elsevier is just a new kind of information vendor, one that understands how communities work, one that will move to service oriented economics," he said in his blog.
