I would have thought Rhizome a good example of open source curating.
Turbulence has aspects of this too. In the case of Rhizome the open codeš
is the operation of the community of people around the projects in question.

Subject: Re: [NEW-MEDIA-CURATING] Open source first steps
And how about open source curating? Is it even possible?
If we assume that exhbitions/collections/shows are systems/apparatuses
that are somewhat programmed by the act of curating, what would be
their level of opacity?
Is it necessary to "open the code" of an exhbition, in order for
others to analyze, understand, replicate and expand it? If so, how
would it be done?
