The term noosphere was introduced and illustrated by Eric S.
Raymond for the information space it
in his essay "Homesteading
in the noosphere". (His focus is on the rules of open source projects.
This is a special case of synergy drawn from exchanging ideas, while the
information space here is not centered around any pre-set
concern.)
Speakning of Mr. Raymond here and taking into account
that Mr. Raymond views himself like a spokes person
I have to add:
I value his work cited above.
But I disagree with most his comments.
Never take his words for my opinnion.
