[lugsdu] Research Wiki for NITDGP-LUG website

[Tirtha Chatterjee]

Being a technical college, hundreds of papers are published every year
in NIT DGP. These researches can be carried out on an Open Source
basis, using a wiki to carry out the research work between a group.
The research wikis can be uploaded on the nitdgp-lug website. Everyone
will have open read-only access to the wikis, and can post
discussions. But the paper can be changed only by a group, which has a
project moderator and a team which the project moderator will approve
of. This way, research papers can be churned up at a greater rate, and
imbibe the quality that positive public speculation introduces in a
work.

Anyone interested in working on this project, or anyone wanting to
comment on its viabilities or wanting to give any suggestions are
welcome.

This will be in effect a SourceForge for research papers.This will
enable people to work over long distances over the internet.

I have a concern:

How will you stop others from copying/plagiarizing from a work in progress. As you would put everything out in the open, the authors would have no means of keeping their work a secret.

Why not just use a CVS/SVN? I believe the objective which you want would be achieved.

What I was talking about was a very user friendly CMS. SO this purpose
is served better by a wiki than CVS or SVN. And it is not necessary
that the papers shared are to be patented. Research work or
compilation of knowledge or college notes can be implemented through a
wiki. Open Research is a project aimed at the same direction.
