There is a German saying, "shared pain is pain halved". I'm sure there must be a saying in at least one language that means "knowledge shared is knowledge multiplied many times". The DAISY Consortium has shared information and knowledge amongst its Members and Friends through email lists almost since it was formed. The fact that our Members and Friends are located all over the world has meant that we have had to provide support from a distance. The DAISY Knowledge Network allows us to share more widely, within the DC, and around the world.
