Welcome
Hello Mr. Benkler, thank you so much for publishing your book under a creative commons licence. I noticed it because of a recommendation on Mr. Lessig's blog. I am already busy reading it. I am a Wikipedian, and I noticed that your article on Wikipedia does not have a photo. As Wikipedia is notoriously short on photos of living people, I thought I would go directly to the source and ask you to upload some photos to the Wikimedia Commons (the common media repository for re-use in all international Wikipedias).
In short: Three photos would be helpful. One portrait, one at your desk and one full size standing, under a free licence as in Wikipedias licence requirement (e.g. CC-BY-SA, GFDL or Public Domain). Thank you so much for your time. It is a great idea with the wiki.

- I forgot to add a link to first steps on Wikimedia Commons (here: First steps). Pictures cannot be embedded in Wikipedia directly from the web (to safe server load). To upload a picture it is neccessary to
- create an account on Wikimedia Commons (then an upload link appears on left side of screen)
- upload file from local harddisk
- add basic information in summary field (description: Yochai Benkler photographer (author):xy license: e.g. {{GFDL}} (these infos are very important)
- When the file is uploaded, the head line [[Image:...jpg]] can be directly embedded in all wikipedias, and the image appears in the article. Longbow4u 03:48, 18 April 2006 (PDT)
