This project began as an outline--in org mode (which allows easy conversion to html)--of a guide for media arts students in understanding how to find and use free and open source software.
The outline, which is contained as "primary" doc, is quite evidently a work in progress. What does that mean, exactly, for someone looking to get something out of it?
Well, because it is perhaps overly ambitious (hence the whole quirky Kant "prolegomena" business), it makes sense to begin thinking about how having a sense of "the big picture" might help one make sense of it all. And who is that "one?"
Please see the READMEs of the primary docs and secondary docs, respectively, in order to begin getting a sense of the scope and more specific purpose of all this. For now.
Well, for now, in the secondary docs, the file "Young-ciceros-path" is the beginnings of an autobiographical explication of one approach to navigating the arts/programming divide--i.e. one example of one person (an "artist" for lack of a better term) trying to make sense of this much-vaunted big picture.
