Reinstall OpenScience

[blike]

Should we reinstall openscience?

[Cap'n Refsmmat]

Yes.

 

 

Except this time, let's do it right and get the entire community in on it. More publicity!

[In My Memory]

What is OpenScience? Is it a science wiki?

[Cap'n Refsmmat]

You got it rather quick.

 

That's what it is.

[blike]

Any suggestions on the name?

[Dave]

I'm all for it. Sounds like a really good plan

[Cap'n Refsmmat]

I like Aeternus's name idea: WiSci.

 

I say go for it. I'll see if I can get my own wiki software finished up enough to use.

Any suggestions on the name?

Blikey J's Conflabulous EnSciclopedia.

[Dave]

Dot com.

[MetaFrizzics]

wow this sounds really good: Tell me about the previous attempt.

[ydoaPs]

people didn't use it and it died, iirc

[Cap'n Refsmmat]

No, people did use it, but blike's host killed it for some reason or another.

[ydoaPs]

if i wasn't hungry, i would have voted yes

[Cap'n Refsmmat]

Blike, if you'd like to test out my wiki, you can find a beta at http://www.homeworkrocket.com/awiki/

I feel it reinvents the wheel somewhat.

[blike]

good point

[Cap'n Refsmmat]

blike: http://sourceforge.net/projects/sc-wiki/

It's been redubbed scWiki. Hope you like the software.

[Sayonara]

Writing Wiki software is reinventing the wheel too

[YT2095]

couldn`t the Search Engine be modified in such a way that if you needed a definition you could just type something like: DEF "aword"

and would open a box with the meaning in it?

 

just a thought.

[Cap'n Refsmmat]

Out of curiosity, I'd like to ask if Blike is still interested or if he forgot about it.

 

I think a wiki would be great for SFN. We could refer people to the wiki articles for commonly asked questions (and maintain a list of creationist arguments and rebuttals) and so on. Also it would be fun.

 

As for YT's question, I think that would be simple, although that would require a seperate listing of words and articles. There might be arguments over what's a word and what deserves an article. It would be easier to just do articles.

 

I've finished 1.0 of scWiki, in case you'd like to use that. Since I have enough time on my hands, if you'd like a feature, I can probably add it. (Nothing too extravagant though!)
