Quotes
Gardner agrees that today’s Web is hostile to self-organized collective efforts, likening it to a city that has lost its public parks. “Our time is spent on an increasingly small number of increasingly large corporate sites,†she says. “We need more public space online.†In fact, Gardner is leaving the foundation at the end of the year in search of new projects to work on that very problem.
