- http://www.pamfonline.org/
- http://www.enochchoi.com/thoughts/
- also look for HON: health on the net
- http://www.google.com/coop/ - when your tagging is determinedas reliable and meaningful by some machine algorithm, Google incorporates it directly into Google Co-op health topic
- healthwise is a provider of patient education (the popular healtwisehandbook)
- Healthline is a new search engine, which categorizes results like google coop but into more categoires
- Kosmix and Healia are similar offerings

Mike Linksvayer
- FWIW my slides from yesterday's
EFF/CC panel are online at http://mirrors.creativecommons.org/netsquared
- http://mirrors.creativecommons.orrg/getcreative is generally the best intro
- For people with time and interest to read I suggest giving them a copy of "Free Culture" by Lawrence Lessig, which covers a lot more than CC, but is a great intro to thewhole set
- showing off reuse is really important to demonstrate the power ofcc/free culture we've built sort of a CMS platform explicitly forencouraging and tracking remixes -- http://wiki.creativecommons.org/CcHost
- http://ccmixter.org is a tool for tracking remixes
- nonprofits using CC to the greater good: http://creativecommons.org/weblog/PLoS is a stellarexample, as is MIT's OpenCourseWare and Rice Connexions; I believe OpenDemocracy isusing CC licenses for their content; Ethan Zuckerman's blog, which uses our most liberal license, http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/ -- you just have to give him credit
- http://creativecommons.org/license/regarding nonprofit remixcontests, firefox flicks is probably the best example I can think of offthe top of my head
- regarding most common
licneses, check out http://wiki.creativecommons.org/License_statistics - Though not a remix contest per se, the 100second Film Festival (http://100second.ltc.org/) is composed entirely of Creatively Commoned entries, and through the DigitalBicycle all entries can be downloaded and recurated into new, local screenings
- (the DigitalBicycle) created a CreativeCommons module for Drupal for this purpose http://drupal.org/node/17497/
- aggregation sites, see: http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Content_Curators for an incomplete list
- I'll refer to our draft Noncommercial guidelines, check
out http://wiki.creativecommons.org/NonCommercial_Guidelines - The CC Drupal module is great, thanks for that.http://microformats.org/wiki/rellicense
- if you care about rdf triples... see http://rdfa.info
- regarding an archive of best practices, not per se, though we do have a wiki http://wiki.creativecommons.org
- check out http://magnatune.com
- and http://jamendo.com for music, etc ... much more at
