Woot! Thanks Dan! We need continue to nag everyone continuously until this wikipedia article is live. I know this is tedious work but it is that important. I don't want to have to nag because I'm the sort of person who believes in "doing the work". Unfortunately, I can't right now. But I will continue to nag. Development on LK commenced years ago yet "according to wikipedia" the project is not known.
Lively scratch page <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Editor142/Lively> on Wikipedia. A few months ago, I tried uploading a screenshot of the examples page. Some wikipedia user yanked it due to potential copyright violation issues I think. The conditions of uploading images to wikipedia are a maze to me. Some tasks: - find an existing wikipedia article of some other project that we might be able to use for comparison of formatting, table of contents, etc. - select an image to use for the sidebar in the article (Dan's engine, or screenshot of the examples page, or other...) - upload the image to wikipedia legally without the editing community wigging out - review/enhance/decide the table of contents - continue to flesh out and add content to the article - near any hyperlinks to Lively pages in the article or at the end, make it clear which browsers work best or are supported for a good experience (Dan mentions unsupported browser below) - Copy the article out to wikipedia from its current scratch page (feel free to do that at any time; just be ready the hammer to come down) ;-) Kidding. - Point to the article from other existing listing and category pages in wikipedia: JavaScript libraries, web frameworks, etc. Please take a step: upload and include an image - correct or adds links at the bottom or inline - write a new section - push it out - etc. Lively scratch page <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Editor142/Lively> on Wikipedia.
