At first I must state that ideas presented in introduction about open educational material are pretty much similar to mine. This was comforting, I am on the right track. Several years I have been pondering over the current situation where the wheel gets re-invented every year. I have been experimenting my ideas through projects relating to my musical interests. I have been following closely pioneers of oper resource creators, GNU for example. The vision on making the world as one educational resource provider is inspiring.
Main question is however, to my opinion, how to create an environment that could be reliable, easy to use and easy to maintain? Who would create this environment? Because the answer is, you an me, it gets complicated. Some kind of "standardization" is neccesssary, like the OER concept.
Intellectual property rights are on thing to consider endangered. For example, here in Finland our laws considering this aspect are some what unclear. I have familiarized myself and used CC-licences for some time now. To my understanding with CC-licensing the credit  will stay with the orinal creator. Of course deliberate missuse is always possible. I have understood that this is somewhat a concern atleast amongst us teachers who create course material etc.
The shift towards adult education has already started in Europe. Therefore the new information environments must be so simple to use that adult learners can adapt them to their continuous learning.  I  am not sure that this is the case in other parts of the world. Maybe the cultural differences and economical situations still keep the focus on children's learning in Africa for example.
Developmental and functional opennesses are issues to be taken into consideration. Wikipedia is a good example if the first. Wikipedia is freely updated so mistakers can and will occur. However, I am not sure that the current movement ot create a somekind of "jury" to accept the development work is a right way to proceed. Maybe we should just accept this to be a part of the openness duality?
To my opinion all the common resurces are a part of a one common pool. To me it is quite obvious that if i am to use something from this pool I must ad to it also. It is irrelevant that both of these acts are takeing place at the same forum, they can be separate, but still keep up the common good. Like the author suggests, also "leeching" migh be considered inmportant if the usage of the resources would some how make the original resource "better". Peer-to-peer is good example of this.
