Re: [Ldsoss] url logger?

2005-04-25 Thread Richard Esplin
If you set up the proxy server as a transparent proxy, then everyone on your 
network has to use it. You could also do logging on a router that NATs the 
machines in question.

Take a look at DansGuardian and/or Squid. One of them might meet your needs. 
It is possible to set them up to proxy the localhost, but it is rather 
difficult. They work very well if you can run them on a dedicated machine; an 
old Pentium works well.

Check out Scout Tracker: http://www.jaynorth.net/?view=scouttracker

I set up Scout Tracker for my brother to use with his troop, and he has been 
very happy with it. The author used to also distribute a web application to 
track Duty to God progress, but he felt like there wasn't much interest in 
it. Scout Tracker, on the other hand, is under active development.

I sorry I'm late responding, but you really should check out:

http://jaynorth.net/?view=scouttracker

I've mentioned this project on the list before. He chose the same toolset and 
approach that you did, and my brother has been using it with his troop for 
over a year. It is an excellent start.

[Ldsoss] Citizendium, a Wikipedia alternative

2007-04-06 Thread Richard Esplin
On NPR I heard about one attempt to address the apparent shortcomings of 
Wikipedia. Founded by Larry Sanger (one of the originals at Wikipedia), the 
beta wiki is called Citizendium:

http://en.citizendium.org

They believe that the quality of information will be improved by eliminating 
anonymity (though allowing pseudonymity), and encouraging "gentle" editing by 
contributors with verifiable credentials.

I'm not certain that Wikipedia is using a failed model, but I'm curious how 
Citizendium will compare over time.

Their LDS section is still really bare, providing a big opportunity for anyone 
who wants to contribute.

Too bad I need to work tonight.
