Hi, Since Club Pune is now open to everyone - and especially Brazilians - I would like to join too, since Theo tells me that Pune is the second best city in India. I am a big fan of the Taj Mahal, so for me is the 3rd best (behind Agra). I never went there, I cant place it on a map, but now its of

Hi. As I understand it, loading remote resources on Wikimedia wikis (such as YouTube videos or Google Analytics JavaScript) is not allowed. The basic principle is that any remote resources must be loaded from domains that also adhere to Wikimedia's privacy policy (such as toolserver.org) or be opt

Even if I'm really in favor of sound content in articles, I'm not sure that a license like the CC by SA is good for that. Do the subject are really aware of what it means?, that their voice could be used without their consent afterwards? It could be a good opportunity to open a constructive di

Okay. So I looked at this a couple of times, and couldn't come up with a good idea for "notable" people to want to deliberately record and upload with an open license a recording of their own voice - knowing that it *will* be abused and misused and mashed. (There's little question that this will

Yeah, it'd be cool to have a tool that allows the subject to record and then make their file an ogg, or record it to ogg in a super fast way. it's a small, but time consuming thing to record yourself, upload it (or whatever) to your computer, and then figure out how to make it into an open license
