Trust metrics wiki - Trustlet:License


 * moved from project:Community Portal

What about the licence of the wiki? Creative Commons Attribution Share-alike by default? But changeable in specific pages, for instance in the working papers pages so that we can then publish the papers? In that case we should change it to what? By using a template at the top of the page saying something like "This page is not released under CC-by-sa but it is copyright of < > since the intended goal is to publish it and many journals don't accept contributions already released under CC. If you want to contribute, please contact the current < > of this page, otherwise by editing this page you agree on donating your contribution to the < >". Something like that, but maybe more clear and more friendly. What do you think? --PaoloMassa 14:28, 16 June 2007 (PDT)

We should also make the licence very visibile and add a disclaimer at the top of the editing page that says "by editing this page you agree to release your contributions according to the cc-by-sa licence" or similar. How does Wikipedia do this? --PaoloMassa 14:28, 16 June 2007 (PDT)


 * Having no sharealike clause has the advantage that the content can be more freely spread and incorporated in other places. But yeah, it's also nice to know that the content can not be proprietarized. I don't have any strong feeling for or against it. Maybe we should consult some more people on this matter?
 * I started a Template:paper draft, maybe you have an idea for a try-out paper we can work on together in this way? Just start the page with.
 * I think that the message underneath the edit box is clear enough about the license of the submissions. That'll be fine for some time I guess. Guaka 03:28, 17 June 2007 (PDT)


 * Ok, I created the Trust Metrics and their evaluation paper. This is more for playing with the template than an idea about a real paper but you never know. About the licence message, ok for now it is more than perfect! --PaoloMassa 04:02, 17 June 2007 (PDT)
