<p>Could you please start a separate thread on how to shoot other
people in the leg? ;)</p>
I experienced this question to the list as a perfect example on
non-censorship: these persons are considering to clean up the wiki,
and are asking for pointers.
<p> Ever had a discussion about stockpiling in your hackerspace? did
you also have 2 camps? I can imagine the same would happen if you
talk about cleaning up the wiki).</p>
<p>To get back on topic...<br>
</p>
<p>I think an important part of the question isn't in there: what's
the reason you want to clean up the wiki? I've heard "feature
bloat" as the best attempt to answering. So you want to keep the
wiki on topic about what a hackerspace is about. The nice thing
about a wiki is that it grows organic in the way the members mold
it...</p>
<p>Obviously, if bloat is an issue... the next question is how does
this bloat manifest? I mean, a Wiki is inherently a site that has
a lot of information and can quickly grow. Is it bloated because a
lot of pages have 0 visitors per year? Or because you have a lot
of unmaintained pages? What's the set of criteria to decide that a
page is unrelated? What's the scope of "hackerspaces.org" and what
exceeds it?<br>
</p>
<p>So one thing you could do, is require hackerspace membership to
be able to alter it. Or you could federate it and have elaborate
local topics to be visited on the wiki or website of that local
hackerspace. Having outbound links would be nice to interconnect
to different sites and not have to duplicate content (but is has
the risk of having dead links or even loss of information if some
site goes down).</p>
<p>Then there's an easy litmus test: if the local hackerspace
doesn't want it on their pages... it also doesn't belong on the
one of hackerspaces.org</p>
<p>I love the suggestion to be excellent to each other.<br>
(oh, and if you smell chicken, you're holding the wrong side of
your soldering iron)<br>

<p>No, of course it could be [asking for opening _another thread_
about _another subject_] <br>

<p>interesting you took it personally.. wonder why ..<br>

as castrated, toothless, incapable of catalyzing real change as all the
prominent "special-interest-people-from-NGOs"-run hackerspaces "managing"
the hacker community. Who will decide whats relevant and what not, nobody
should, make your on-site indexes and search filters better but don't remove
content(at all/from index etc). If you need free computing resources I can
give you storage/bandwidth for free - if somehow you'd try to turn it into a
"financial burden" cloak.

Is simply asking for opening _another thread_ about _another subject_
a kind of "censorship"? Even when both the threads would be exactly
on the same list? Woww... Cultural differences are always
fascinating! :D
I thank you sincerely for "your free computing resources", but
"financial burden" was never my point. You should re-read my message
v-e-r-y, VERY, veeeryyy s-l-o-w-e-r, with calm and much more
attention. Already know well some of Mark's theories and it's always
interesting to see how some people want to teach other people how to
make revolutions and be more human and, at the same time, strongly
reject transsexualism and other concepts deeply related with
respecting to human rights.
Please, *do not censor me* you too. I have the right to ask him to
expose his ideas in another thread to keep the HGDL a bit more
organized. If he wants to create another thread or not, it's his
problem, not mine or yours.
