Re: [Foundation-l] Proposal: Fan History joining the WMF family
Even if the license change applied only to material started after the present, it would make future collaboration possible David Goodman, Ph.D, M.L.S. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:DGG On Wed, Nov 18, 2009 at 11:11 PM, Samuel Klein meta...@gmail.com wrote: Laura, Thanks for your work on the proposal. I hadn't looked at fanhistory in any detail before, and enjoyed discovering it's lifecycle through your blog.

Critical analysis of the potential import of this project is much easier if the project has a well defined mission, and the project leaders are only interested in the migration if it is a good fit within the WMF mission. I agree with John here. Your approach and proposal are greatly appreciated. Educational projects aimed at educating others, providing material for future research, or gathering useful knowledge are certainly ones we should give consideration to adopting. The copyright issues is a sticking point, as geni notes -- I strongly recommend that you look into changing your license, regardless of the result of this proposal, so that you can better work with other projects in the future.

[Foundation-l] Proposal: Fan History joining the WMF family
Jon, after rereading my post, I apologize for the snappy tone. I don't think you deliberately tried to bend the facts, probably were just a bit loosely phrasing your argument.

Re: [Foundation-l] Office hours next Thursday, November 19
Forgive my poor math (in addition to my poor self-proofreading skills) but 3:00 PM Pacific time is actually 2300 and not 2100. Office hours are in 1:45 hours. Cary Cary Bass wrote: Hello all!
