I was just looking at this page, and it makes me curious: what gives anyone the right to take someone else's mailing list post and include that in a Wiki? I'm not saying that anyone involved would object, but there is the technicality of licensing: the wiki page claims to be under a certain creative commons license; was permission obtained from all the contributors? Does posting to r-help automatically constitute such permission? More importantly, since the wiki contents can be edited, where is the guarantee that some text attributed to someone is really what someone said? One solution would be to link to the posts rather than repeating them, perhaps with a one line summary of what information is contained in the post. This could then form the basis of more comments and links over time. In any case, the wiki needs to provide some guidance on this. -Deepayan ______________________________________________ R-help@stat.math.ethz.ch mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
