This is an open forum for people to discuss this wiki, ala the Wikipedia "Village pump". This is not for general discussion of Second Life. For that, please refer to the forums

Wikipedia Content

Just a short heads-up that the Wikimedia foundation is currently having a vote amongst all registered users with more than 25 edits before mid March 2009, which is aimed to double license all Wikimedia content under GFDL and CC-BY-SA 3.0.

This means we might soon be able to incorporate content from Wikipedia into this Wiki (e.g. templates, icons, ...). In case you got an account at any WikiMedia wiki which is allowed to vote, please consider to do so. Voting will end on May 3rd 2009. All infos about the update can be found at http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Licensing_update. To vote, just log in with your account. The link is displayed for any logged in user at the top of any page (e.g. English Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:SecurePoll/vote/1 ).

On a similar note:

Libre knowledge!

P.S.: In case Wikimedia succeedes with this, it might be worth trying to ask http://secondlife.wikia.com contributors to do the same. It's also GFDL content and therefor has the same loop hole. Would be especially great for History of Second Life related articles. --Zai signature.png Lynch (talk|contribs) 23:27, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

Stub template

Just a heads up to anyone who's interested, I reformatted the Template:Stub page so that we can start using it on articles that need to be expanded, I'm hoping people will use this to mark articles and then other people can use this to find marked articles to work on. Currently people already do this albeit in a fragmented fashion which makes it tough. GW (T|C) -- 21:42, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

Wikipedia content - part 2

According to [1] it seems like the vote passed and the Wikimedia (parent of Wikipedia) board certified and passed it on their end so although Wikipedia people have their own internal issues to deal with in implementing the change we can at least begin implementing content that has been licensed/merged to be compatible. Is this a fairly accurate assessment and is there a plan on our end for implementing this type of content? Also, does this need a sign-off from LL legal to make sure everything is right and correct on this and do they need a hand in drafting instructions on how to do this?
