What copyright/license are we using for this wiki's content?
Any thoughts?

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).
[[User:Darin|Darin McGrew]] 12:29, 22 August 2007 (PDT)


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.
I'm investigating plugins to give us better flexibility on page protections.  Clearly there are at least four classes of protection that are desired:
* Sysops only
* Page creator only
* TRC Board
* Registered users


And we probably ought to be having this discussion in [[Talk:Project:Copyrights]], but it's here, now.
We have the first and last by default with this software, but I think there's a way to do more.  I don't want to lean heavily on sysop protection, because it creates work (possibly substantial, depends on the doc and the number of docs) for sysops.

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:

How much of the content of our main site should we migrate to the wiki?
The current layout of the main page of the wiki is historical. The wiki started as a place to create the rallyemasters handbook, and then grew. I'd like to rework the main page of the wiki, but I think we should also rework the way the "main site" and the wiki fit together, and that it makes the most sense to do them at the same time.

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).

I have moved the non-discussion content to the About TRCWiki page.

I'd like to migrate the following to the wiki:

Any thoughts?

Displayed timezone

The timezone is configurable for each user. Click on "my preferences" in the upper-right-hand corner, then the "Date and Time" tab.
