Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] On creating an Indian Wikisource
Hello, 2011/8/28 Gautam John gau...@prathambooks.org: Hi Yann: I was wondering if you could send us some details on what it would take to maintain Wikilivres please? Technology and costs. Wikilivres is currently hosted on a small dedicated server in Montreal, Canada. It follows the Canadian copyright law, in which a work is in the public domain 50 years after the author's death. It costs 74 US$ monthly, or about 3,500 Rs. at the current rate. Pathoschild has helped me recently for upgrading Mediawiki to new versions. I am open to proposals regarding a takeover. A review of the content and a policy about inclusions seem to be sensible if the legal responsibility is moved on. Some of the content is under a non commercial license [1]. This could be moved somewhere else (Wikia?), as it needs not be hosted in a particular place. There are a few personal essays with a free license, which would not be accepted on Wikisource, as they were not previously published (Wikia also?). They are also a few French articles from Wikipedia [2]. [1] http://www.wikilivres.info/wiki/Category:CC-BY-NC [2] http://www.wikilivres.info/wiki/Category:Copied_from_Wikipedia Thank you.

So ideally, what would such a proposal include - aside from the cost which is a given? I see several possibilities: 1. Free hosting. I think that an educational instution (e.g. University) might accept hosting Wikilivres under some conditions (legal responsibility from a Wikimedia chapter?). 2. Financial support only. I could continue to have the legal responsibility of the project. I have a Paypal account to receive donations. 3. A chapter or another organisation takes over the legal and financial responsibility. My main criteria is the long term support for the project. A review of the content and a policy about inclusions seem to be sensible if the legal responsibility is moved on. Okay. Thank you.

Wikimedia India chapter may consider writing to HBCSE, TIFR in Mumbai or TISS in Mumbai to host a facility explaining why and how they can do this. gnowledge lab of HBCSE will be glad to maintain the archive once an understanding between the chapter and HBCSE is worked out. bandwidth, disk space and legal responsibility are the main things that will come up on the table while negotiating.

Downside being not all pictures have description, so we dont know where they fit in. But am sure collectively we can guess them, so request all interested to leave a comment on each photo, if you know what it could be about / where it is.

Just one question: Anyone is checking for license fraud? We have a LONG history of users who upload copyrighted pictures in Flickr under free licenses to be send to Commons. _ *Béria Lima* http://wikimedia.pt/(351) 925 171 484 *Imagine um mundo onde é dada a qualquer pessoa a possibilidade de ter livre acesso ao somatório de todo o conhecimento humano.

Hi, I wrote to nicksarabi through Flickrmail about whose collection Srikanth wrote about below. Warm regards, Ashwin Baindur -- From: *ashwin_baindur* To: *nicksarebi* Nick Preview your message *Subject:* About India photostream Hi Nick, I am a Wikipedia editor from India. As one of the initiatives of Indian Wikipedians, titled India loves Wikipedia Commons, we intend to upload large numbers of images of own work on India as also those images on India freely licensed on the web in places like Flickr (such as yours). we wanted to confirm whether the copyright of images in collection India in 1978/79 in black white are all yours. We are keen to use of these images and need to be absolutely sure that they are very own images. I would be grateful if you can drop me a line in this regard, Ashwin -- On Sun, Aug 28, 2011 at 1:16 PM, Srikanth Lakshmanan srik@gmail.comwrote: Hi, I just hit across a treasure of ~200 black and white pictures[1] (in CC) of India in 1978/79. Looks like someone had pictures of a traveller and uploaded into flickr set. Downside being not all pictures have description, so we dont know where they fit in. But am sure collectively we can guess them, so request all interested to leave a comment on each photo, if you know what it could be about / where it is. The other thing being, does anyone have flickrripper bot access on the list and can help?
