We discussing a move to CC-****BY****-SA,
attribution is still
required. I'm not an expert on the attribution requirements of
CC-BY-SA (I've just read them, but it isn't entirely clear to me
whether Original Author is, in the context of a wiki, just the latest
editor or all editors),
My reading of the Attribution requirements per CC-BY-SA (4.c) in the
context of a wiki is as follows:
* every substantial edit is a copyrighted creative work;
* every such edit must be, per the terms of the license and the terms
of use of the wiki, made available under CC-BY-SA;
* per the terms of that license, if the edit is originally created for
the wiki, the person submitting it is its "Original Author" (while the
combined work is an Adaptation per CC-BY-SA).
A wiki page would therefore have multiple "Original Authors" per
CC-BY-SA.
I disagree, I don't think each edit is a work but rather each revision
is a work, derived from the revision before. The question is then who
is the Original Author of the latest revision, is it just the person
that made the last edit or is it everyone before (ie. are authors of a
work automatically authors of a work derived from it)?
