Ah, a tricky question.  My first gut reaction was one of the [http://www.creativecommons.org/ Creative Commons] licenses (perhaps attributed + no commercial), but I'm leaning towards (gasp!) a more conventional restricted-use copyright.  My thinking is that we may want to control the content somewhat more aggressively (perhaps after a recent aggressive email encounter).
 
On the other hand, having the content under a looser copyright could allow more spread of the concepts and encourage the sport. Perhaps a FreeBSD doc license would accomplish the same.
 
And we probably ought to be having this discussion in [[Talk:Project:Copyrights]], but it's here, now.

I'll add it to the agenda for the next business meeting.

At the business meeting, we decided to use a Creative
Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 License.
 
So, where do wikis typically put the copyright notice? In [[Project:Copyright]]? I figure the word "copyright" can be linked to that page in the standard template, and that page can include something like this:
 
<blockquote>Content on this site is copyright by The Rallye Club (TRC)
and is licensed under a
[http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/ Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 License].
</blockquote>

== Migrating Content to the Wiki ==
 
How much of the content of our main site should we migrate to the wiki?
 
I can see most of the site migrating.
Rallyemasters could update the info about their own rallyes on the calendar and results pages.
Others could contribute to the "What's a Rallye?" page.
Everyone could contribute to the resources page (and the new [[Rallyemaster Handbook]] could be added).
And so on.
 
Any other thoughts?

And at the business meeting, we decided to migrate pretty much everything, except for very official documents like the bylaws (which must be preserved in the form they were passed).

Established Conventions

  • We are going to migrate as much content into the wiki as possible. Once a wiki page makes something on the main site obsolete, contact the webmaster so he can update the main site accordingly. However, we will not migrate content that should not be freely updated (e.g., our bylaws, our operating procedures, resolutions approved during business meetings).
