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
