Attribution (owner moving wiki)[edit]
The Creative Commons license states that, "You must attribute the work in the manner specified by the author or licensor", but the "licensor" here does not seem to be specifying a way to attribute the work. This seems like it could be important. For example, if someone wants to move the content of this wiki to another site, they may be able to do so without attributing every page individually. If this person owns WikiIndex.org, they could shut down this domain to complete this move. Lumenos 16:07, 7 October 2009 (EDT)
- I was discussing this sort of stuff with MarkDilley in chat. He posted, "WikiIndex is a community project and will stay in that realm. That was my main value and it was shared by Ray, John and others who are involved." (Raymond King registered the domain name WikiIndex.org. John Stanton is an (inactive?) bureaucrat here and David Cary is a sysop.) Earlier Dilley said, "...when I was working on it, with David Cary and others, it was call SwitchWiki" The SwitchWiki article has the "status" marked as "Goal reached".

- People often have "ulterior" motives. I'm just wondering how long our work will remain at wikiindex.org (or anywhere). SwitchWiki's old web address now hosts an ad. For example, maybe the owner will decide that WikiIndex goals could be continued by AboutUs. There are some other issues I hope to address at WikiIndex:Software, data, and website.
