Hi,
As a non-profit organisation we are running an aviation orientated Wiki.
But recently we have been approached by another organisation whether we
were interested in cooperation on this Wiki.
Although we haven't decided whether we want to go ahead with this
cooperation, a couple of questions have been raised already, which I
would like to have answered before the next round of talks. Hopefully
somebody on this list can help me out on this.
1. Is it possible to have the wiki using the URL of both sites? With
this I mean that
www.oursite.com/wiki and
www.theirsite.com/wiki
point to the same wiki, without those URLs changing?
2. As most Wiki's we do not allow linking to images on other sites.
But this other party has an huge collection of images which would
perfectly match with our Wiki. When this cooperation goes ahead,
we are allowed to "use" those images, but because of copyright
issues I don't think they like those images to be downloaded from
their site, and uploaded again on the wiki. So is it possible to
have $wgAllowExternalImages remain 'false', but make an exception
somehow for this particulair site?
3. One of the concerns of this party is the ability to change what
they consider "facts" by the average user (things like 1+1=2, not
3), but this is only part of the information on a particulair
wiki page. To protect those data, I was thinking about creating a
new namespace, make this namespace only editable by a small group
of "trusted editors", and then somehow include those pages in the
main article (something similar to the HTML iframe). Is this
possible, or has anybody come up with a better solution to do this?
Thanks in advance for any answers!
Regards,
Hans
