on a somewhat related note... i added the rss tags to create an RSS page
from the Horticulture page, just as an experiment and you can now create a
sort of aggregate RSS feed that includes the content from the blip feed as
well as the content within the wikied page. if you have a reader you can

Wow,
Fun discussion! Competition sounds like fun. Honestly I think folks
motivated in that way will enjoy it, and others won't care. I don't
really see this group getting remotely cut-throat! It has thus far
been a friendly and helpful group with the common good in mind.
Thanks for the stat
Smart work Leigh ...
I'm thinking that we should try creating a Blip TV rss feed template.
Perhaps something along the lines of:
{{Bliptv|rss=rss url goes here|file=url for file download goes here|
license=CC-BY etc.}}
The template would automatically insert the rss tags, do the layout for

As much as I hate to admit it - I do have a competative streak, and so this
talk about how to leverage that in people is valuable I think. I don't think
we should shy away from competition, but we should perhaps be careful not to
turn people off who are shy of it. The handicap idea is a beauty.. is

Blip.tv has a feature where you can custom the display size of the video. It
has a great number of other features as well - including support for
Creative Commons, and the ability to cross upload to Archive.org
It is at Archive.org where they have the technology to create CDs and books
quickly.

Hi Leigh,
That will be a good start. Thankx. BTW, how did you sort out the display
size problem in WE?

Your video RSS feeds from Blip TV are very impressive! Would you
consider developing a tutorial for WikiEducators on how to do this. We
still need a tutorial on the rss extension -- and the video can be a
sub-section. So holding thumbs that you will consider taking this on.

These are tough challenges.
My personal view is that we should try to promote and support both low

I certainly hope my last post regarding competitive WE editing was

Hi Savithri,
No worries, this is not a competition, it just lies in the nature of the
things we all are doing and once you get more involved, this will
automatically increase. Thank you very much for your contributions. They
have been great.

While I agree with Leigh's inferred sentiments about Brian. This
promotion begs a question for me. Should we be focusing on high
bandwidth content at this time? Given what I perceive as the mission
of WE to focus more on the developing world shouldn't our focus be on
low bandwidth content? Shouldn

Big thanks for this! Sure I´m interested in collab, isn´t wiki about it? Still
