“Collaboration is not an absolute good.”
“The main reason to use Booki rather than a word processor to write a book is to effectively collaborate with other authors. The book you are reading is my second attempt to do this (and the Spanish translation of my first FLOSS Manual would definitely qualify as a third) so my opinions on this might be worth something.The first thing is that there are good reasons to collaborate and not so good. A good one is that your collaborator can bring expertise to the book that you don't have. A bad one is that you think there will be less work for you if you have a collaborator. There are many human activities where "Many hands make light labor". Writing a book isn't one of them.”
“The wise man seeks first and foremost to use his good fortune to increase the number of those with whom he collaborates.”
“In the world, there is no absolute good, and absolute evil.”
“A collaborator sees, sows, and grows seeds of opportunity and then sustains his good fortune by ensuring that others always benefit from his success.”
“Where everyone is connected, the game-changer – the force multiplier - is collaboration. Collaboration unleashes the power of the many to do together what none can do alone.”
