I don't post much myself these days, but I'd let him back on. But those who were primarily aggreived should probably have more say, if they are still around. IIRC he posted Julia's contact info online... perhaps it wouldn't be unreasonable to ask him to agree to refrain from such things in the future. -bryon ___ http://mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l_mccmedia.com

I haven't participated here for a while, but I do still read the list daily and keep up on current events. I don't have an opinion either way as to the collaboration issue (I'm not familiar enough the projects), but if anyone's interested in my opinion regarding Jeroen rejoining Brin-L, I say bury the past and invite him back.

I've been on Another List with him for some years and there hasn't been any interaction which was even so much as impolite between us on there. No objections from me.

I have a thread near the top. The gist is that if we are lucky we could run into a problem scaling out. As A.C. said there are webs and subwebs, as near as I can tell these correspond to directories. The performance of a web/directory degrades noticeably by about 10 entries by which time searches take 5-10 seconds each. Furthermore, these companies wind up having to use Google search engines on their sites. This limit is an area that is attracting a lot of effort however. One way around this limit is to have subwebs. This gives your wiki a hierarchical structure. So for an encyclopedia you would perhaps have mutually exclusive horror and superhero webs. Now do we put Buffy the Vampire Slayer entries in horror or superhero? For an encyclopedia type site, hierarchy is Bad. ___ http://mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l_mccmedia.com

Although, if we should have occasion to discuss Israel, Palestinians, Jews, or Jewishness, I doubt his opinions have changed and I doubt he will refrain from expressing them. The watchamacallit wiki is a new project and we can hardly keep him out there for behavior here. If we keep conversation about that here for a while we almost have to let Jeroen into Brin-L at this stage. ___ http://mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l_mccmedia.com

People, situations and communities can all change quite a lot in six years, and everything seems much more relaxed here than it did back then.

Foswiki up and running
Got Foswiki installed here: http://nickarnett.net/sfwiki As I mentioned before, we can point a domain name to that directory when this project decides to announce itself. Interested parties, register thyselves and I'll make the appropriate, involved people into administrators. And... a blast from the past, pasted below. I'll let whoever emerge as the folks who lead the wiki project decide how to respond. As usual, I'm inclined to let the community choose and will only intervene directly as a last resort. Nick *Hi Nick!* *I’ve heard from Matt Lundstrom and Alberto Monteiro that Brin-L is discussing setting up a Brin Wiki, after someone noticed that some troll is very busy trying to remove “All that is Brin” from Wikipedia. Marvellous idea (the wiki, not the removal); in fact, a few years back Matt and I were playing with the idea of turning the Alliance for Progress Encyclopedia into a wiki format as well. The enthusiasm and disk space were there, lack of time put the idea on the back burner.* *With both Brin-L and the A4PE Team playing with the same (or at least a similar) idea, I see opportunity for cooperation – although a part of the A4PE isn’t canonical but fan fic and should probably not be included in the Brin Wiki. Would you mind burying old grieves in the past, lift that ban you imposed six years ago, and let me join again? Both Matt and I would like to contribute to the Brin Wiki project, being on the list would make it a lot easier.* *Oh, BTW, in case you’re looking for it: now that Yahoo!GeoCities (former host of the A4PE) has gone the way of the dodo, the A4PE is now hosted by my company, available for all to see at http://www.brin-l.com/a4p. There’s still over 3.5 GB of disk space available for a Brin Wiki on my server, so if Brin-L needs a (free-of-charge) place for the Brin Wiki then it’s available.* *Greetings from NL/BE, and already the best wishes for 2010.* *Jeroen van Baardwijk* ___ http://mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l_mccmedia.com
