Ok, legal stuff is very serious, however... Ok, another option, since a direct import is not probaby going to happen is to, once the new wiki is live, summarize and help build the new wiki using the temp one as guide, with the explicit directive that no copy-and-paste is allowed, however linking is ok. To all wiki-ppl out there, remember to always set-up licensing on your wiki prior to the start of your wiki. This is the easiest thing to do and saves the most time...cool? If so, then back to work, right ;) Jon > > _______________________________________________ > OpenMoko community mailing list > [email protected] > https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community -- Jon Phillips San Francisco, CA USA PH 510.499.0894 [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.rejon.org MSN, AIM, Yahoo Chat: kidproto Jabber Chat: [EMAIL PROTECTED] IRC: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ OpenMoko community mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
