Re: [Origami] Old website project about listing what different creators allowed?

[Gerardo @neorigami.com]

I asked about old messages on the list regarding a website dedicated to
authorizations from creators. Thank you Anna, Carol, and Robert for
replying. It's definitely the OrigamiUSA one! Two members from the CfC
community mentioned having a similar idea. I wanted to check out those old
messages about the subject here on the Origami Mailing List. Can you
guys/gals please help me find them? For example, did the project had a
name? I tried using keywords like "clearing house", "permission", and
"authorization" but I couldn't find what I was looking for.

Thank you in advance* : )*


PS: Carol, I did receive your message. I'll send you a reply.

Some of what Carol says is fairly accurate: I tried to start such a project 
(then, and once or twice since); but a big factor in the project not proceeding 
was that every time we started something going, everyone involved had different 
ideas about what should and should not be included, what the permissions and 
checkboxes should be, etc. And so rather than trying to drive to enough of a 
consensus to be able to start building, I just let it slide. I’d be happy if 
someone else wanted to take it up again and drive the process (with a firmer 
hand).

Re: [Origami] Old website project about listing what different creators allowed?

[Carol Martinson]

Geraldo,

I tried sending this to you using your email address, but I was not successful. 
 So, apologies to everyone, this is going to the whole List.  I’ll also try 
sending it directly to you again.

You are not imagining this project.  It was an OrigamiUSA project headed by 
Robert Lang.  I volunteered for this project as did a couple of other people.  
It was supposed to be a site teachers could use to see if origami creators gave 
permission to teach their models, hand out diagrams, and the like.  Robert Lang 
then got too busy to set it up the way he wanted it set up and the project 
died.  

It was driven by how strict OrigamiUSA is about getting permission to teach 
models at their conventions.  They are far, far more restrictive than U.S. 
copyright law. 

I’ll see if I still have any of the old emails.  It might take a couple of 
days.  If you want to take up the project, I will volunteer to help you. 
 
I love teaching and am considered a decent teacher, but since I am not a famous 
person in the origami world, often creators do not even respond to my requests 
for permission to teach.  The last OrigamiUSA Convention I attended I could not 
get a response granting permission to teach models, so I did not teach.

[Anna]

Could it be Sara Adams list of creators who agreed or refused permission
for her to publish videos showcasing the folding sequence of their models?

[Origami] Old website project about listing what different creators allowed?

[Gerardo @neorigami.com]

*HI EVERYONE*

I'm almost 100% sure that years ago someone mentioned here a project
regarding a website were people could find what a particular creator
allowed in relation to his or her own models. And it was also mentioned
that that project was abandoned.

Did that project really exist or did I dream it all? I tried to find those
messages using different keywords but to no avail.

If someone can tell me more about it, but more importantly, if someone can
help me find the old messages I'd really appreciate it. You can send me a
private message to gerardo(a)neorigami.com if you prefer.


Thank you in advance *: )*
