Re: [CODE4LIB] archiving a wiki
A thing to be careful of when web harvesting a wiki, is that it may harvest mope than you bargained for. Most wikis (I don't know JSPWiki, sorry) can present earlier versions of pages, diffs, indexes, and sometimes the same pages under different URLs. This may or may not be what you want. For taking a snapshot of the current versions of all pages on a wiki, I have had luck with using an index page (that is: a list of all pages in the wiki, not index.html) and harvesting that page with a recursion depth of one. This may or may not help you :-) $ wget --html-extension -r -k -l1 Best of luck, Kåre > -Original Message- > From: Code for Libraries [mailto:CODE4LIB@LISTSERV.ND.EDU] On > Behalf Of Tom Keays > Sent: Wednesday, May 23, 2012 3:27 PM > To: CODE4LIB@LISTSERV.ND.EDU > Subject: Re: [CODE4LIB] archiving a wiki > > I haven't tried it on a wiki, but the command-line Unix utility > wget can be > used to mirror a website. > > http://www.gnu.org/software/wget/manual/html_node/Advanced- > Usage.html > > I usually call it like this: > > wget -m -p http://www.site.com/ > > common flags: >-m = mirroring on/off >-p = page_requisites on/off >-c = continue - when download is interrupted >-l5 = reclevel - Recursion level (depth) default = 5 > > On Tue, May 22, 2012 at 5:04 PM, Carol Hassler > wrote: > > > My organization would like to archive/export our internal wiki in > some > > kind of end-user friendly format.

Re: [CODE4LIB] Metadata
You realize, of course, that discussing the use of the word metametadata could be described as metametametadata? Which would make my post metametametametadata. At which point it all turns into silliness (which it certainly wasn't before... right? :-) ).

[CODE4LIB] Availability of data-enabled temporary SIM cards
Hi all, Sorry for being semi-off-topic, but obviously you're the right bunch of people to know this... We're a bunch of Danes visiting the Code4Lib conference in Seattle. But the prospect of a full week being offline on my trusted Android phone is scary. And the price of international data roaming is simply scary. So I was wondering if any US carriers are selling data-enabled SIM cards, at a price that would be reasonable for a week's usage, and which are also available for visiting tourists? Any input welcome. Thanks. Best, Kåre
Re: [CODE4LIB] Vote Now: 2012 Conference T-shirt
Hi, Could the items in the result list be expansible too? Right now I can't see who is winning :-) My ruby-foo is weak (read: non-existent) so no patch supplied. I checked the code, but it was jst short of being self explanatory enough for me to attempt a half hearted patch (that I wouldn't know how to test anyway)...

Re: [CODE4LIB] Pandering for votes for code4lib sessions

Could someone with access to the voting data perhaps anonymously pull out how many voters have given points to only a single talk or two? If the problem is indeed real, perhaps simply stating on the page that you are expected to evaluate _all_ proposals, and not just vote up a single talk, would help the issue? It might turn away some of the "wrong voters". Requiring to give out at least, say, 10 points, could be perhaps be a way to enforce some participation? Best, Kåre
[CODE4LIB] SV: [CODE4LIB] Plea for help from Horowhenua Library Trust to Koha Community
So, a press release from LibLime states the following: "Another one of the assets acquired in the purchase of LibLime was an application for the trademark of the term Koha as it applies to ILS software in New Zealand. That application has now been accepted. PTFS/LibLime will hold that trademark in trust as well, and will not enforce it in order to insure that no individual, organization, or company will be prohibited from promoting their services around Koha in New Zealand. PTFS/LibLime is prepared to transfer the trademark to a non-profit Koha Foundation with the provision that the Foundation hold the trademark in trust and not enforce it against any individual, organization, or company who chooses to promote services around Koha in New Zealand. PTFS/LibLime encourages a direct dialog with Koha stakeholders to determine an equitable solution for the disposition of the trademark that serves the best interests of the libraries who use Koha." That sounds promising. Has LibLime seen reason, or am I misinterpreting things?

You can get a list of known Koha installations from lib-web-cats: http://www.librarytechnology.org/map.pl?ILS=Koha Which lists over 1200 sites ... the Library Journal, when they covered the purchase of LibLime last year, only mentioned that they had about 1/2 of those (140 libraries thought PTFS, 500 from LibLime): http://www.libraryjournal.com/article/CA6714841.html Although, I don't know if the lib-web-cats is libraries, or whole library systems. You could get specific names of LibLime customers by looking through their website for testimonials scattered on the site, or get their more recent clients through the press releases in their 'news' feed: http://www.liblime.com/news- -Joe
[CODE4LIB] Creating accounts for voting
Hi list, I had a bit of trouble registering an account on code4lib.org in order to cast my votes. I got an email saying my account was pending approval, but approval seemed to be a bit late in arriving. I dropped in on IRC to ask for help, and "edsu" was kind enough to help. Thank you. If you have similar problems, don't hesitate to drop in on IRC or send an email, since valid registration sometimes get lost in a barrage of spam accounts. HTH. HAND.
