Browsing Wikispore for the first time, I was interested that an Art
Spore was highlighted on the front page. However it is no more than a
brief propositional description.
Trying to give some thought to what might be the possibilities of this
project, I placed some scoping thoughts on the Talk page:
https://wikispore.wmflabs.org/wiki/Talk:Art_Spore
I am not sure how active this mailing list is, but, either here or on
that Talk page, I would be interested to find whether my scoping
thoughts are consistent with what is envisaged for that Spore, whether
people have other artefacts which might help build towards some content
there, etc.
I have checked with a few people, and here are some concerns regarding
Wikispore, which, I am sure, can be easily resolved. I am happy to help
with the first three if I sense consensus on these topics.
1) Privacy policy
2) Terms of use
3) Code of Conduct
I am sure we'll easily agree on the first two, just taking the respective
policies from the other WMF Wikis and link them accordingly.
Regarding 3), mediawiki.org has a CoC, meta does not, and I would really
like us to start Spores per default with a CoC. What are your thoughts?
4) Visual Editor?
Would it be easy to set that up? My guess is that Spores are for novel user
groups, and VE seems to be something useful. But I also think to remember
that setting up VE used to be sometimes a bit complex.
Stay safe,
Denny
I invite you to join us on Sunday August 23, at 1PM New York, 5PM UTC, 7PM

This call, we'll look at Visual Editor and Citoid (now enabled on main
Wikispore!), options for hosting WikiJournal and similar projects, and the
submission process to the WMF board.
We'll also follow-up on points from Wikispore Day:

Note that this meeting is 1pm New York time, not 3pm New York time as most
previous meetings have been.

...with any other license than default? What are the options?
I find it problematic (in general) that text is treated in different
way (less flexibility than media)...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reusing_Wikipedia_content#Fair_use_…
Maybe this is something that can be discussed and give space for
experimental - creative - educational use as exception? What do you
think?
If not what is alternative? iFrame from other website that displays
also text in WikiSpore?

I wanted to share that the Cargo extension (an evolution on Semantic
MediaWiki) is now enabled on Wikispore Test.
You can see a couple of examples using the 'City' table here:
https://wikispore-test.wmflabs.org/wiki/Sacramentohttps://wikispore-test.wmflabs.org/wiki/Ljubljanahttps://wikispore-test.wmflabs.org/wiki/Special:CargoTables/Cities
I think you need admin rights to make a new type of table, but not to use
an existing table. Feel free to experiment with it on Wikispore Test, and
we should be able to enable this functionality at the main Wikispore in the
near future.
Feel free to ask any of your Cargo-related questions here!
Thanks,
