This page links to resources developed in conjunction with The Pool, a project of Still Water at the University of Maine. You can use The Pool perfectly well without them, but they extend its usefulness in new dimensions.

If you want to see how The Pool is built, install an instance on your own server, or hack it for your own ends, you can download the latest build here. The version history is available via The Pool's own reference to itself. (We know, it's weird to use a project to track itself, but hey, it works.)

The Open Art License automatically grants permission to re-use under these conditions:

• Attribution.

• View source.

• Combinations shared alike.
• Transformations shared alike.

So you're free to use The Pool's source code under the same conditions as the GPL, except that re-use must be non-commercial and you need to register your re-use back in The Pool.

Registration implies no approval process--it's just for our information. You just add your project to our Pool, with a relationship back to the original version.

If you have a re-use in mind that doesn't abide by these terms--or you just want to know more about the code or license--please contact us via ude.eniam.timu@erutluc.loop. We're pretty open to ideas and can probably work something out for you.

This bookmarklet for the del.icio.us social bookmark site opens a reference panel inside the originating page that includes the controlled vocabulary native to The Pool.

Jerome Knope's spiffy CocoaNetworkGrapher maps relationships among collaborators in the Art Pool.

[Note: this application is currently offline until we migrate it to our new server.]

1. will graph all the projects they worked on;
2. will also graph all the collaborators who worked on those projects;
3. will graph all the projects their collaborators worked on;
4. will graph all the collaborators who worked on those projects, and so on.

• dotted if they contributed to an intent (concept);
• dashed if they contributed to an approach (mockup);
• solid if they contributed to a release (working version).
