[Wikimedia-l] Update on the CISPA drafting process, and its significance to the Wikimedia movement.
There have been drastic changes to the CISPA language, (and here drastic is an understatement). Not only have they removed the language that would have made Wikimedia look like right prat -- hooray...ish -- but the emphasis on the agreement between large scale traffic sites giving their userinformation over in a quid pro quo fashion, has shifted towards language enabling them to deputise (security clearances in an expedited fashion) small time hacker collectives to conduct activities which might or might not be illegal, as long as it is for the good of the country, and as long as they can be relied to keep their mouths shut. At this point I think *any* action by Wikimedia would be misinterpreted. There is no-longer any text there that would affect Wikimedia directly. There may be an argument that the bill as a whole is still detrimental to the internet as a whole and to the United States economy, and by that route to Wikimedia. But that is such an involved chain, that we would certainly be accused of being political, if Wikimedia protested in any shape or form, on those grounds. Assuming the draft prevails of course. That is a gamble. I think the backdoor option we have is to pressure Obama to Veto the bill. He needs a win against Congress, and afte the SOPA affair this could well be his, He certainly could activate all the people who phoned in on the SOPA thing, if he wants to. -- -- Jussi-Ville Heiskanen, ~ [[User:Cimon Avaro]] ___ Wikimedia-l mailing list Wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l
[Wikimedia-l] Funds Dissemination Committee: Your thoughts welcome
Hello! As many of you may know, the Wikimedia Foundation is working with The Bridgespan Group to develop a process for allocating movement funds to programs and other projects. As a part of this, the Board of Trustees resolved to create a Funds Dissemination Committee to make recommendations around how funds should be divided and allocated (see the resolution here [1]). Over the next months, we will be developing the FDC structure and clear processes around funds dissemination. As we do this, we invite you to share your thoughts on how this process can best support the movement's mission in a fair and transparent way. We are hosting a forum for input on the Funds Dissemination Committee Community Engagement page [2] Meta. Visit this page or the FDC main page [3] if you would like to provide your thoughts and to find more information on how to get involved. Please provide your thoughts on Meta, as we are posting this announcement in several places and would like to collect input in one place. Thanks! Meera Chary, from The Bridgespan Team [1] http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Resolution:Funds_Dissemination_Committee [2] http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Funds_Dissemination_Committee/Community_Engagement [3] http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/FDC ___NOTICE This electronic mail transmission, including any attachments, contains confidential information of the Bridgespan Group (Bridgespan) and/or its clients.

[Wikimedia-l] Fwd: European Mathematical Society and Springer create Encyclopedia of Mathematics wiki...
Springer in cooperation with the European Mathematical Society creates Encyclopedia of Mathematics wiki: http://www.encyclopediaofmath.org/index.php/Main_Page Invitation to contribute: http://www.euro-math-soc.eu/node/2671 Notice that it is seeded with 8,000 entries from the Kluwer-published Encyclopaedia of Mathematics; these articles remain under copyright to Springer/Kluwer. However, new contributions and edits will be licensed cc-by-sa. Seems like a fun copyright time to me... They are also using MathJax, which I know we are exploring enabling on Wikipedia (and maybe already have?) They also have an editorial board. I didn't delve into it deeply but it's not clear to me what having full scientific authority over alterations and deletions means; though it looks like they are discussing various models of review. As the librarian who sent this around said why wouldn't mathematicians who were so inclined just contribute to Wikipedia articles instead? There is some debate about that point on the EoM talk page. http://www.encyclopediaofmath.org/index.php/Talk:EoM:This_project#EoM_and_WP This does raise an interesting sourcing issue though -- the published Encyc. of Math is certainly a reputable source, and should be cited in the appropriate Wikipedia articles, though I know there's a lot of debate around whether to cite other wikis as sources. And on the Encyclopedia of Math wiki talk page there's a debate about whether they should copy material from Wikipedia! -- phoebe ___ Wikimedia-l mailing list Wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l

Sounds like an interesting attempt at an open-core model (a.k.a. having your cake and eating it). If an original article is changed to the degree that no original text remains, will they claim the changes are nevertheless derivative works? Contributing to such an encyclopedia would be far too hazardous; if we are asked, we should disrecommend putting oneself into legal danger in such a manner. - d. ___ Wikimedia-l mailing list Wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l
