The OWF Wiki Lives! - wiki.openwebfoundation.org

[Nate DiNiro]

At long last the OWF Wiki lives!

http://wiki.openwebfoundation.org/

A few pages that beg for better copy, probably sooner rather than
later...

http://wiki.openwebfoundation.org/index.php/Open_Web_Foundation:Privacy_policy
http://wiki.openwebfoundation.org/index.php/Open_Web_Foundation:About
http://wiki.openwebfoundation.org/index.php/Open_Web_Foundation:General_disclaimer

The site is set up with a CC 3.0 Attribution Share alike. Let me know
if this needs to be changed.

Thanks,
Nate

Would it be possible to eliminate the inner /index.php/ from the URLs
so we could have shorter URLs like:

http://wiki.openwebfoundation.org/Open_Web_Foundation:Privacy_policy

http://wiki.openwebfoundation.org/Open_Web_Foundation:About

Or if there must be something there in that URL segment, perhaps
re-use the /wiki/ convention like other media wiki installs (e.g.
wiki.whatwg.org/wiki/ , microformats.org/wiki/ )

A CC license is fine, but I strongly prefer a public domain / CC0
license, and I appreciate that may be a larger orthogonal discussion.

For the moment, I've created an opt-in public domain license template
on the wiki, and encourage others to create user account pages with
the public domain template as well:

http://wiki.openwebfoundation.org/index.php/Category:Public_domain_license

Thanks again for all the hard work Nate - this will help a lot with
getting content off of the mailing list in the wiki where it is easier
to find, cite, and version.

Tantek/All,

I've got the Wiki set up with the /wiki/ convention now.

I've also switched to Creative Commons Attribution 3.0

Cheers,

Nate

Thanks, I definitely support the normal CC-by license and think that it is a good fit as we'd want people to attribute our policies, guides, etc to OWF.

Is there a way to remove even "wiki" from the URL?  So that http://wiki.openwebfoundation.org/wiki/Main_Page turns into http://wiki.openwebfoundation.org/Main_Page?

[Nathan DiNiro]

Done. "/wiki/" removed

Thanks for getting this up and running. Now that we have the tool, are
there any best practices we should be thinking about for its use?

I too prefer a CC0 waiver or a public domain dedication.
