This month we are looking at the theme:
Unpack the meaning in what is the public and what is the private: to quote Allison: how is 'the public' legally constructed in your country? What is the public perception? And then, what is the private: how is this defined and understood in your country?

The second article for this month is a wild card: talk about something that's pertinent to the culture and commons debate in your country.

Hi guys - Sorry for the delay I have been in transit between India and the US... For this month I propose to write on the neem patent reexamination request filed with the USPTO by India's legal representative.

Hi guys

So think month, I''ve decided to write about translation and production of Wikipedia content here in South Africa. Just by looking at the numbers, it's pretty evident that the only place real progress is being made (translation-wise at least) is in Afrikaans (even though, proportionally the Afrikaans speaking population is very small). And very little original content is being written in any language. It's fascinating.

Sounds good, and interesting given the recent debates on the icommons mailing list about language - not least because it's such an emotive issue, and I'm sure that people get surprised by their gut responses - you can tell by the arguments on the mailing list how people try to find all manner of arguments to match their gut instinct, when in fact its an emotional response first and foremost that has to then be rationally argued :) Look forward to your article.

Talk about a topic open for interpretation!
