Howdy. I'm new to this list, I would like to introduce and tell a
little about myself. I do some work on the OTRS system for the
foundation as a volunteer. I would like to get more into direct press
(PR), tweaking press releases, project management, and research. I'm
sure I can bring something to the table, so we will see. I look forward
to working with everyone.
Best,

Hi!
I have created a location search system and want to add a simple short
info about locations from Wikipedia.
To do this, I use php script, which loads info from this url:
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?format=json&action=query&list=search&redi…
It works fine when I use it from my local Apache at home. But when I
upload php script to the remote server (website), I get error:
Request: GET http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?format=json&action=query&list=search&redi…,
from 64.202.165.132 via sq27.wikimedia.org (squid/2.6.STABLE18) to ()
Error: ERR_ACCESS_DENIED, errno [No Error] at Thu, 06 Mar 2008 19:40:39 GMT
Why does it deny from remote server, but allows from a local? Does
wikipedia block requests by IP addresses?
Thank you,
Shal.

I look forward to lifting this group up again and discussing some of the
projects I'd like to bring to fruition, all of which could benefit from
your support, ideas, and enthusiasm.
I look forward to seeing the list active soon!

Hi Jay,
Hopefully the dust is starting to settle for you now, and you might be
talking to Mike Snow, who probably has a good perspective on what’s where
around the WMF comms networks. You’ll know he does much of his talking over
at Wikback.

You can see that Sean is trying to resurrect this part of the WMF world, but
it would be good, with your fresh eyes, to get some overview of what you see
as the WMF’s priorities. It would also be useful to get an idea of what you
see as the main interactive comms ‘outlets’ for including people into
conversations. WikizineChat, etc.
I’m hoping you might see your job as attempting to bridge the gap between
various communities that fall under the Web 2.0 banner. WMF’s communities,
like most others, are focussed on a particular tool. In our case it’s one
that is good for producing libraries of (unclassified) information. Its
equivalent community in the web design space would be the sitepoint
community, where web designers tend to congregate. I’ll point you at their
forum page to illustrate how it looks when an environment has around 3,000
people reading and talking at the same time. HYPERLINK
"http://www.sitepoint.com/forums/"http://www.sitepoint.com/forums/
It may also be useful, if you are discussing this approach in the hallowed
San Fran walls, to refer to this document, which is a presentation given by
one of your countrymen at the Canadian research Council. HYPERLINK
"http://www.slideshare.net/Downes/oers-in-sustainable-perspective/"http://www.slideshare.net/Downes/oers-in-sustainable-perspective/ . The main thing
which interests the National Research Councils is how they might develop
their “Platforms for Collaboration”, and tie them together. HYPERLINK
"http://www.pfc.org.au/twiki/bin/view/Main"http://www.pfc.org.au/twiki/bin/v
iew/Main Obviously, if the WMF communities can act as a catalyst here, to
help the institutions understand the tools and develop a global model
(instead of just the usual National ones), their mission will be progressed.
As you might see, I’m suggesting a strategy here that might have the WMF
playing a central part in the development of global virtual libraries. At
the moment I can’t see how this might be possible until the various
communications tools offered to WMF communities are at least as attractive
as others offered on the Web. I’ve made a note on the CPG page about
Skypecast, where they are having some real problems ironing out the bugs. So
far as the real time stuff in your end of the world, the SDSC has an
initiative which looks at doing for moving pictures and talk what a wiki
does for static ones and text. HYPERLINK
"http://www.scivee.tv/about"http://www.scivee.tv/about . I mention this as
Erik seems to have an interest here.
I we want to make an impact on the WMF communities, and have them make some
impact on others, then you should know that the SDSC is one of many nodes
around the world who, together, act as the Accessgrid HYPERLINK
"http://www.accessgrid.org/"http://www.accessgrid.org/ which is like a grown
up Skypecast. I’ve made the suggestion a number of times that if the WMF was
to approach this community, and collaborate in some regular sessions
(perhaps for Wikimania), then both communities might just “get it”, and the
National Research Councils might discover how to tie their National networks
together. Regards, simonfj
