I'm dusting off this old chestnut -a phrase whose first online mention was by Dave Winer, AFAICT, later elaborated in this definitive post- and hereby announcing to the world that i'm making this the mantra of my work... At least that part of it i do while seated, pecking and squinting at a screen (which modality, as a farmer, i don't have much time for, but that just makes such focus all the more important).

Lineage of this noble idea can be traced back definitively almost to turn of the millenium (documented by one David Smith in these posts from 2007 and 2009 ), and has since been known by various names (e.g. "Observable Work," Working Openly on the Web: a manifesto, ") all the more,  since being written up in John Stepper's 2015 book "Working out Loud."

In fact, though you'd hardly know it today, this idea goes back to the purpose of the web as conceived by TimBL -a two-way, read-write medium for scientific collaboration, in its earliest incarnation- and to visionary engineers & artists such as Doug Engelbart, Vannevar Bush, and H.G. Wells long before it's realization as WWW.

How it came to pass that this purpose has been so largely subverted by commercial interests and baser human instincts, i will never understand... But "this aggression will not stand" (apologies to the Cohen brothers), as i live and breathe. Just felt the need to throw down that gauntlet, here and now! 

ps:  Some practical implications of this approach -along with my own workflow, to the extent i've been able to develop it- is detailed a bit in this thread i initiated in the "1999.io Blogger Community" Discussion Group, recently kicked-off by blogger John Philpin.  This is shaping up into a fine CoP (Community of Practice), and if you are at all serious about using 1999.io, it (along with the 1999-user list that is moderated by developer Dave Winer) is a source of support that you would do well to engage.
