== Proposal 18-Feb-2006: License ==


I propose we drop the NC from the Creative Commons license. [[TedErnst]] | <small>[[User talk:TedErnst|talk]]</small> 15:48, 18 Feb 2006 (EST)
: Can we discuss, I'm not sure I understand the rationale for this --[[Raymond King]] | <small>[[User talk:Rathbone|talk]]</small> 18:38, 18 Feb 2006 (EST)
Yes, the NC means no one can use it on a site with adwords, nor can they publish in their print mag that they charge money for.  Why would we want to limit commercial use, as long as the share-alike is there and they have to give away their source, the NC is too harsh, and seperates us from a huge body of free material, like wikipedia.

* I think I understand most of that and am close to concurring.  I met with Lion today in Seattle and he also gave me a push in this direction.  I'm not sure I understand the last sentence about separating ourselves from Wikipedia tho? --[[Raymond King]] | <small>[[User talk:Rathbone|talk]]</small> 03:25, 23 Feb 2006 (EST)
** Our work cannot be used on wikipedia and vice versa if we keep the nc.  In fact, if someone's got an nc in their own license, their stuff can't be used here at all either, because of our adwords. [[TedErnst]] | <small>[[User talk:TedErnst|talk]]</small> 17:25, 23 Feb 2006 (EST)
* ok, John is making the change.

These come here once decided at WikiIndex:Proposals.


Proposal 2006-02-19 Good Examples

How about we make a page with "Good Examples" so that people get an idea of how to make a great article? --Raymond King | talk 12:44, 19 Feb 2006 (EST)

yes, and I don't think this type of thing needs a proposal TedErnst | talk 13:09, 21 Feb 2006 (EST)
  • ok, let's toss up a page and get this started too then --Raymond King | talk 03:29, 23 Feb 2006 (EST)

Proposal 2006-02-18 Glossary

I propose we make a Glossary with all of the WikiIndex terms so people don't get mixed up with stuff like "Private" vs. "Personal", etc. --Raymond King | talk 02:18, 19 Feb 2006 (EST)

yes, and I don't think this type of thing needs a proposal TedErnst | talk 13:08, 21 Feb 2006 (EST)

Proposal: 2006-01-28: Coding comments for more transparent clarity

  • More transparent wiki conversation/work. We start to code our page work in the summary as much as possilbe, as to model transparent conversation on the recent changes page, for newbies, and really ourselves. I just think it will only help to do as much coding as possible :-) MarkDilley
  • I propose that we are now doing this and this proposal can be moved to a completed proposals area. --Raymond King | talk 18:37, 18 Feb 2006 (EST)
  • We should put this in the Guidelines, agreed upon area, if I understand that area correctly.

Proposal: 2006-02-17: Tag and category use

  • Tags would be used in the description field of the page, either inline or as a bulleted list, whatever the editor wishes, using the tag template.
example: http://www.wikiindex.com/index.php?title=ArborWiki&action=edit&section=1
  • Categories would be used as media wiki currently understands them for the footer grouping. They would be placed above the template code for two reasons:
  1. cleaner for the site/newbies
  2. put them infront of template categories in the footer section, to highlight them.
example: http://www.wikiindex.com/index.php?title=ArborWiki&action=edit
