Bom, foi um comentário desnecessário e desagradável mesmo, concordo, mas
esta polêmica entre Wales e Assange infelizmente está na mídia há meses,
André.
A intenção do autor, creio eu, não foi direcionar, provocar ou ofender, mas
informar sobre uma polêmica recente envolvendo a Wikipédia.
Também apóio o Wikileaks e a ampla divulgação de informações sem censura. A
propósito, gostaria de divulgar esta petição on-line *"Pela liberdade de
expressão e o direito à informação, contra a perseguição ao Wikileaks, ao
blog Falha de São Paulo e ao Centro de Mídia Independente - CMI."*
http://www.petitiononline.com/wlBrasil/petition.html
Se quiserem copiar o que tuitei agora, com menções às @s defendidas, fiquem
à vontade: *Pela liberdade de expressão e o direito à informação, contra a
perseguição a @Wikileaks, @falhadsaopaulo e @CMIbrasil: http://zapt.in/diA*
Haverá, por sinal, na próxima semana, mesas redondas, painéis e debates na
Campus Party sobre projetos wiki, REA, hackativismo, o projeto da lei de
acesso à informação pública, liberdade na internet, sobre o tema "Toda
informação deve ser livre?" e diversos outros assuntos pertinentes ao que
todos nós defendemos. **
Mesas e debates deverão ser gravados e disponibilizados posteriormente, mas
não sei se vai rolar streaming. Vamos todos acompanhar e torcer pelo melhor,
queridos! :-)
Beijinhos!!!

Olá a todos,
Desculpem abordar isto na lista da Wikimedia-br, mas alguém saberia me dizer
quem é o autor desta frase:
"*The problem with Wikipedia is that it only works in practice. In theory,
it can never work.*" (The zeroeth law of Wikipedia)
Que pode ser encontrada
aqui<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Raul654/Raul's_laws#Laws_by_others>
.
Estou pensando em colocá-la como epígrafe no meu relatório, mas não gostaria
de colocar o autor como 'anônimo'.
Procurei em vários lugares mas não encontrei. Por isso pergunto aqui.
Abraços,

Hi Jessie, thank you for passing this along.
Hello Nevio,
Good to hear that there are some interesting local/regional history projects
happening in Brasil.
I'm not precisely sure how you intend to present the results of your work
but you might be interested in a pilot project that has happened here in
Australia as it might be applicable to you:
It uses MediaWiki software combined with googleMaps to create a local
history wiki map service for the South Australian town called "Mallala":
http://mallala.nowandthen.net.au/index.php?title=Main_Page This is an
example of a localwiki http://localwiki.org/ The Mallala project was
innovative not only for the combination of the technologies but also because
it combined the local knowledge of the older people in the town (in the
retirement villages) with the local high school students who could teach
them how to use the computers. The two groups met in the local library and
used the library's computers. What they did was place a digital "pin" on the
map (as you can see on the website homepage) and then they were presented
with a form where they could fill out various pieces of information in a
structured way about that place. For example, they could chose the form for
"building" and then would be given a form with appropriate questions to
describe the building in a structured way. This way the children learned
about their local history, the old people could learn about the technology
and also share their heritage.
The big difference with this and Wikipedia was:
1) it is a relatively "closed" project that has relevance to the local
people but not really to the wider world
2) it does not have the "notability" and "referencing" requirements that
Wikipedia does. In Wikipedia most of their articles would not be accepted as
their subjects are too insignificant for an encyclopedia even if they are
important to the local people (e.g. where the local supermarket was in
1950).
Perhaps that might be a methodology for publishing your work?
If you are working with existing museums/cultural organisations and you want
to integrate their content with Wikipedia specifically then there are
several ways to do this and it very much depends on the
requirements/problems/abilities of the individual institutions. If you have
the resources, and the institution is willing, I would recommend placing a
"Wikipedian in Residence" at the biggest institution(s) so they can be
"inside" the museum as my friend is doing at the moment with a museum in
America http://www.childrensmuseum.org/blog/index.php/archives/720 and I
previously did with the British Musuem in London.
I hope this helps!
