EBM Tool2.0
Web2.0 is just an extension of what Open Source has been all about since
the 70’s. Web2.0 says that community based development, social networking, decentralization of authority, freedom to re-use, and bi-directional interaction
are some of the cornerstones of a “modern web”.
EBM Tool2.0 is no different, for it to succeed it needs to be based on transparent and agile systems,
involving the technical, social, and environmental aspects of our
communities. - me
