While not exactly the same, the spirit behind minimal computing reminded me of SPLOTs (what the acronym stands for is not yet fixed — one interpretation is Smallest Portable Open Learning Technology), which are intended to have low barriers to entry and "support more accessible, sustainable, and user-friendly ways to get publicly-engaged learning happening on the open web." The question of platforms and sustainability is a topic that is directly relevant to my work in Open Educational Resources and with Nodutdol, and I always love to learn about technologies that provide access to knowledge creation mechanisms without locking you in to a specific system. For years, the Open Library team has been enthusiastic to share the book space with friends like Goodreads who have historically shown great commitment by enabling patrons to control (download and export) their own data and enabling developers to create flourishing ecosystems which promote books and readership through their APIs. When it comes to serving an audience of book lovers, there is no "one size fits all" and we're glad so many different platforms and APIs exist to provide experiences which meet the needs of different communities.	./cache/planet-code4lib-org-4113.xml	./txt/planet-code4lib-org-4113.txt
