TODO
Hi! Let us assume I have edited a page but I think there is something else to do but I don't have time now. What is the best way to leave a message such as, for example, "TODO: check the formats accepted as input by this package"? Template? Category? Simply a string saying so in the page? --PaoloMassa 03:37, 21 June 2007 (PDT)


 * It depends on the situation. Some possibilities:


 * put text, slightly indented (using : ) and in italics
 * put text in HTML comments
 * Categories are good when you start seeing a pattern, within a big community (e.g. Wikipedia)
 * And of course, you can be sure that I will probably be checking almost all diffs for the next couple of months :) guaka wikitalk 03:43, 21 June 2007 (PDT)
 * We actually have a awesome template now! guaka wikitalk 03:00, 31 July 2007 (PDT)

Reference extension
Do you have any idae why the reference extension does not work? See at http://www.trustlet.org/wiki/Trust#_note-0 I copied from Wikipedia (mediawiki) in which it is used for citing papers. --PaoloMassa 11:00, 30 July 2007 (PDT)

Other possibilities still to be evaluated
I hope you don't mind if I write here, but you know how to move stuff around ;-) --PaoloMassa 07:07, 31 July 2007 (PDT)


 * Sure. I'm moving this to project:Wiki extensions :) guaka wikitalk 07:39, 31 July 2007 (PDT)

Local trust metrics category
Hi, I categorized some trust metrics under "Category:Local trust metrics" and "Category:Global trust metris" instead of the more generic "Category:Trust metrics". There is a way to say that these categories are subcategories of the latter? --PaoloMassa 02:42, 2 August 2007 (PDT)

First Spam
At http://www.trustlet.org/index.php?title=Trust_in_five_steps&curid=167&diff=1064&oldid=690&rcid=1038

Solution? --PaoloMassa 08:35, 2 August 2007 (PDT)


 * Hurray! That means that we're becoming popular already! When you're on a page, copy the terms (like viagra) to project:spam. From there we link to chongqed, a project for fighting wiki and blog spam. guaka wikitalk 09:15, 2 August 2007 (PDT)


 * great! Thanks a lot for sharing this information! --PaoloMassa 10:02, 2 August 2007 (PDT)


 * Also, in Special:Recentchanges you can simply click "rollback" if you're a sysop here - candidates for helping with this are welcome! :) guaka wikitalk 09:26, 2 August 2007 (PDT)

Book suggestion
Worth checking Social network and trust. I haven't read it, the approach game theory based is not the one I prefer. http://books.google.com/books?id=WW71S3gG1vMC&pg=PA187&dq=trust+reputation+social&ei=-YzWRuTzNYia7ALvtMT2BA&sig=XmB7MA6EGyKwRttM-_5J2XzY4PM#PPP1,M1 I was not able to find a PDF copy online --PaoloMassa 02:43, 30 August 2007 (PDT)


 * Another one: Peer-To-Peer: Harnessing the Power of Disruptive Technologies, not directly focusing on trust but very inspiring. Very relevant even if it is already a bit outdated. --PaoloMassa 02:03, 1 September 2007 (PDT)


 * another one, that is not directly trust-related but I thought writing it here so other people might find it as well. the book Republic.com by Cass Sunstein about the risks of echo chambers (I cited it in some papers), it is available in the library in Trento (both in Italian and English), though there is a new version (much extended and different it seems) Republic.com 2.0 which is not yet available and I would like to read ;-). Also of Sunstein, there is Why Societies Need Dissent which I haven't read but I'm sure the beginning strikes some chords with you: "In this timely book, Cass R. Sunstein shows that organizations and nations are far more likely to prosper if they welcome dissent and promote openness". Note that Cass Sunstein teaches law and politics at the University of Chicago. --PaoloMassa 05:23, 19 September 2007 (PDT)

wik2dict still around?
Hi! I was trying to download a wik2dict tarball from the respective wiki page and failed mightily. I'd really love to see how dictd (or the clients that are around) would cope with different wikitionaries as well as wikipedias, which is why I kindly ask you to reanimate the dead links to the 3.x tarballs. cheers ---Andreas 78.104.12.76 09:30, 29 December 2007 (PST)


 * I just (and finally) started a project at Google code: http://code.google.com/p/wik2dict
 * I will upload some tars there if they're in a good state. But feel free to volunteer. :) I'm happy to give out access to the project. guaka wikitalk 04:50, 9 January 2008 (PST)
