I was thinking about the possibility, as discussed in a recent thread, of beginning to try and create documentation as a community in a distributed way which might foreshadow the eventual implementation of federation, and may even shed light on some of the nuances of interoperability between wikis.
One issue that bubbled to the surface was that of licensing - I don't know about you but I basically consider everything I create to be issued into the world cc-by-sa by default but I don't usually bother to tell anyone in a way that they can easily check. Do you think we should adopt a convention for easily marking our wikis so that other people know what we're happy with? I was heartened to find cc-by-sa on a few people's work here and I would really love to behave as though everything in the community carries this license without really bothering to check, but then it's only fair to give people an easy way to indicate that they are //not// cool with it. And then... thinking further down this particular rabbit-hole raises the question of whether, in fact, individual tiddlers ought to be marked with licensing information? One can imagine it would be useful, for example, to set licensing along with authorship for tiddlers that I create myself, but allow for different settings in, say, tiddlyclip when I'm bringing over web-content. Also, at federation, if you're bringing content from my wiki, it should probably come with licensing info attached.
