With 'standard' things like information on licenses and what free content is etc., is there any way to incorporate the live informaation from Wikipedia into here even without it being in a template (actually, I'm not even sure how to incorporate a Wikipedia template into here)?  Rather than copying the text here, it would be much more helpful to have a single source for this kind of thing, reflecting the content here automatically (presumably protected) but with this media's shell around it.

Revision as of 13:08, 11 May 2005

You state that material here may be reused "without restrictions" -- unfortnately, that's not true of even most free content material, which generally comes a license which imposes (a very few) restrictions on re-use; mostly restrictions that ensure the free content remains free.

You definitely need to define the default licence for Wipi contributions. At the moment, you are using a large amount of Wikipedia content, so I suggest you use the GNU Free Documentation Licence by default, which is the one Wikipedia uses.

This will have two advantages:

  1. you'll be using the Wikipedia material with permission, instead of violating their licence
  2. It will also be possible to use material from the Wipi into Wikipedia.

This is a win-win, and only requires you to edit a couple of bits of text.

Thanks Algo, that was definitely our intention. I have modified the About Wipipedia to reflect this.

Do any of you now know enough to complete the Copyright page? (BTW for some reason it has more links to it than show up on the "What links here" page.) I'm sure I could fathom out the content myself but suspect that someone else can do it with a lot less effort.

With all the publicity around about forced-labour and forced prostitution etc. I have little doubt that some people looking for links about nonconsensual slavery will end up on this site. It occurs to me that we should have a page on it, distancing this site and BDSM generally and pointing to other sites such as the BBC (I have the link somewhere) and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slavery etc.

What does anyone else reckon and does anyone want to start it? I'm not sure what title for the topic would be best.
