That would be seriously detrimental to your academic performance
evaluation. Only through peer-reviewed publications in recognized
journals (which are helluva expensive to subscribe to), conferences
(which are helluva expensive to attend) or in nicely printed books
(which are helluva expensive to buy) can it be considered of any academic
standing (as well as determining your next pay increment and/or
administrative, i.e. power, position in your university). Anything free is
plain unworthy - just ask Microsoft.
