Hi Paul, How was that implemented?
How, if at all, do new contribs on the upstream commons propagate to your fork? Does your site allow participation or it's read-only? If read-write how, if at all, do contribs flow back to commons? How much manual work is required for all of that? Is this available for the general public to use? -Jeremy On May 16, 2011 1:32 PM, "Paul Houle" <p...@ontology2.com> wrote: > On 5/16/2011 11:07 AM, Chris McKenna wrote: >> I don't know how well such a censored subset would work, given that every >> organisation's content policies I am aware of are different to each other, >> and the technical challenges associated with censorship, but I am no >> expert. > I've actually implemented a "censored subset" of Wikimedia Commons > so I've got some insight into this.
