Peter, I sense you have it. That makes me happy :)
I am just back from a walk in the mountains, and struggle to find the
motivation to explain this any more. I'm satisfied that I've at least
communicated my thoughts to Peter, and hope he'll carry the ball further. I
will recommend for a third
Hi Everyone,
We have a User Expo, to shower positive attention to Users which have a
snazzy User Page.
Could we have an OER Showcase - to shower positive attention on OERs that
are super-cool, or in in the case below- SUPRA-COOL?

Interesting Peter, I hadn't considered that list as nodes in a network. I
suppose they are in some ways, but I have always considered them as the
things that connect the real nodes - the platforms that facilitate
communication between nodes.
Take your K12 project on WikiEd. I see that as a node
That is cool, and I really like how it sits behind a User page too!

Leigh,
I get your point. And I do agree with you that if you don't facilitate
mash-up practices you reduce connections, and therefore the network
becomes smaller and restrained... openness is the way... I guess these
subtleties are why so much discussion occurs regarding the meaning of
open...
In the beginning there was the word... :)
In the begining there was the Internet, and the ability for people to

small nodes, connected by way of the Internet. When their connections to
other nodes become stronger, they came
Hello all,
the Free Software Foundation has today released the version 1.3 of the

Yes, but networks are organic and fluid, focus ebbs and flows. so
sometimes putting energy into keeping something relevant and strong is

Thanks for the info
Kind Regards

For my edification, does this mean that content within Wikipedia is now
under the new version of GFDL, or, does Wikipedia have to take a vote / hold
a referendum - like Mediawiki?
I'm wondering if it's automatic, or there is some process that has to take
place.
Can you please clarify?
Thanks,
Randy, you seem to have confused Mediawiki (the software) with the Wikimedia
Foundation (WMF). Wikipedia is a project under the governance of the
WMFhttp://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Our_projects,
so Eric's advice relates to Wikipedia and all the other projects under the
Foundation. In short,
Thanks for the clarification, Leigh.
