Talk:Public Digital Backbone

Why this book?
I think the title of the book and INTRODUCTION clarifies and indicates briefly what the textbook is upto. I invite other contributors to come forward and put their thoughts. If any clarification is needed I will be happy to provide.

Shortly, I will put forward the list of chapters and also some more content. Hopefully that will give the textbook project clearer direction. Anil Shaligram (discuss • contribs) 17:29, 7 August 2023 (UTC)

Contents
Now I have added contents for the textbook. I again invite contributors to come forward and start contributing to this textbook. Specifically, anybody can suggest modifications, additions to the contents that I have proposed. Anil Shaligram (discuss • contribs) 10:11, 8 August 2023 (UTC)

My Response to weather this page is created by accident or as a test.
This page is not created by accident or as a test but I want to make it as a serious textbook venture in the style of Wikibooks. Anil Shaligram (discuss • contribs) 17:37, 8 August 2023 (UTC)

About improving educational quality and intention.
As to the improving educational quality and intention of the textbook I have given INTRODUCTION and also Table of Contents. Intention is not to develop it as an article but into a textbook.Anil Shaligram (discuss • contribs) 17:47, 8 August 2023 (UTC)

Catagorisation
As far as Catagorisation of the textbook is concerned, my suggestion is that it should fall somewhere between the crossroads of 'Social Entrepreneurship', 'e-Governance', 'Free Software', 'Commons', 'Creativity & Economic Empowerment', 'Public Delevery System'. But I am not sure where it should exactly fit. Anil Shaligram (discuss • contribs) 05:59, 9 August 2023 (UTC)

Framework for contributions
I have tried to create a framework for the textbook so that others can contribute. I have tried to give sense of direction to the textbook project as understood by me. For that I have created chapters, with small intros and subheadings. Also I have put up a Glossary of terms with meanings. This should help other readers and contributors to edit and add as they feel. Anil Shaligram (discuss • contribs) 14:23, 11 August 2023 (UTC)

Categories again
As I mentioned in earlier Talk I feel multiple categories are necessary to cover this multifaceted and complex topic of Public Digital Backbone and a textbook related to that. This categorisation can help other contributors to think in various directions to enrich the textbook. So I have added those categories.

Additional Related Topics
What was mentioned in the earlier Talk 'Categories again' as multiple categories is now clubbed together in 'Additional Related Topics' in a sepate section in the textbook itself. This I believe brings more clarity in navigating the topics meaningfully and can help other contributors to contribute freely. Anil Shaligram (discuss • contribs) 05:13, 14 August 2023 (UTC)

Change of title of first chapter
Title of the first chapter INTRODUCTION is changed to A Silent Revolution. Anil Shaligram (discuss • contribs) 08:10, 22 August 2023 (UTC)

Global changes and purpose of that.
Put the word 'Chapter' in contents before chapter numbers. I believe this helps reders to navigate the book more easily. In every chapter quotations be eminent people was added. These two changes were carried out throughout the book. This will facilitate contributors, readers and editors.@ Anil Shaligram (discuss • contribs) 15:39, 6 September 2023 (UTC)

Links of Chapters
While editing this main or root page links of Chapters were lost. I tried to restore the Preface Chapter by cut paste. But now that is showing Category of a new book. So admin please help me to restore the links of Chaters. Anil Shaligram (discuss • contribs) 17:17, 5 December 2023 (UTC)
