I'd value any feedback people have on the open web book that I
contributed to recently when it comes to this aspect.

Summary: The Web was meant to be Everything. As the Internet as a whole
assumes an increasingly commanding role as the technology of global
commerce and communication, the World Wide Web from its very inception
was designed to be a free and open medium through which human knowledge
is created, accessed and exchanged. But, that Web is in danger of coming
to a close. This book shows what is happening and how you can play an
important role in keeping the web open.
