 <title>What is a Cooperative Digest?</title>
 <link>http://www.developerdotstar.com/community/node/112</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;The &lt;i&gt;developer.* Cooperative Digest&lt;/i&gt; is both an open publication platform and an interactive discussion between software developers from around the world. &lt;i&gt;A Space for Ideas&lt;/i&gt;, we call it. The concept is based on the idea of &lt;i&gt;community-based blogging&lt;/i&gt;, which means simply that the contributions from many individual &lt;a href=&quot;/community/node/20&quot; title=&quot;What is a blog?&quot;&gt;blogs&lt;/a&gt; and comments come together to form a common, dynamic &quot;publication&quot; that changes day by day. Diversity is the norm. The whole is greater than the sum of it&#039;s parts. Membership is free, and optional. As a guest, you are encouraged to comment freely on anything you read; members get a free blog and &lt;a href=&quot;/community/node/6&quot; title=&quot;Why register?&quot;&gt;other benefits&lt;/a&gt;. Use of the blog is optional, of course; many people sign up just for posting comments and logging in to read the posts.&lt;/p&gt;
