Hey, I see in the "minutes" that the one-line nonsense word spam was
discussed.  Any ideas?  I had 76 edits on my personal wiki just *today*
of one-line nonsense word spam...

Any chance of scheduling at more times? I teach school in Detroit and
can't make lunch (except on weekends and summers, of course).

Just a suggestion!
Patti :)

Matt,

What LocalSettings tweak enables "every anonymous edit"?  (I'm feeling
lazy.)

Sorry for the out-of-context message, all, I meant to first say, "Holy
cow - I just checked out the recaptcha webpage and learned what their
"stop spam, read books" tag means.  Awesome!" and then comment on
needing to install ReCaptcha on my own personal wiki.

There used to be a bunch of pages in arborwiki written in
non-English languages - I cut/paste some Korean grocery
information (in Korean) in there, and there's also a series
of Unicode characters that used to be there that are gone.

Brian noted that there's a difference in the underlying
database (it's a latin-1 encoding, not a unicode encoding)
that's responsible for this.

looking forward to getting my ā¯¤ back,

Ed

I did the simplest thing that (doesnt' quite) work and built

http://twitter.com/arborwiki

which takes the recent changes feed, sends it through Feedburner,
and twitterizes it.

the RSS feed is wrong, wrong, wrong for twitter, though - and I'm
wondering if anyone else has done this and if so if they picked a
different short text "recent changes" excerpt to run as the summary.

Hey Ed!   Hope things are well with you...

       i was just looking at arborwiki (cool) and it has a lot of
elements that we're trying to incorporate, and some that might fit
well with other things we'd like to do.

check out     the neighborhood  off of our web page, and one of our
projects    annarboralive.com/newswiki.html

lets talk or get together

Jim:

* http://arborwiki.org/city/Wiki_Wednesday
* November 7 starting 8:30 - 9:00pm until ??:?? at Rendezvous.

Consider yourself and any others warmly invited to come and talk
about ... wiki.

This is a super informal thing that some friends are kicking off,
trying to have monthly gatherings in various regions for people to
come and talk about wiki.

Here is a link about WikiWednesday in general, although the arborwiki
page is a better reference for local stuff -- http://www.socialtext.net/wikiwed

Thanks,

Personally, I hope that Ann Arbor Alive gets on board with this group!
  I was involved with them when they first started and it is hard to
find a better group of guys!

The next Wiki Wednesday, an opportunity to informally chat wikis, is
coming up on December 5 --
if you're interested in coming, what times might work for you?

The discussion: http://arborwiki.org/city/Wiki_Wednesday

potentially 8.30pm // Rendezvous on South U

Topic! Show and tell! Bring a description of an interesting wiki /
shared editing widget or interface. Show something you've built
recently.

Topic! 501.c.(3) status?

Scott Johnston who is organizing this is the former product
manager for Jotspot, a commercial wiki product that's slowly
oozing out into Google apps land.  Some pointed questions
to him in that direction would be welcomed.

If you're going from downtown and can coordination transportation,
that would be good (use Goloco or something).


I''ll be out of town for the NSFNET 20th reunion.

thanks

Ed

Here are some notes on an IM exchange with Matt Hampel regarding forms.

http://blogometer.com/post/arborwiki-style-and-forms/

Here is a link to a few forms that are being used in the applications
I'm developing to augment MediaWiki for the New Orleans Wiki.

http://thinknola.com/alpha/2007/10/register/login

http://thinknola.com/alpha/2007/10/register/join

There is a data entry form that is not visible unless you have editor
privileges. I plan on creating a dummy of that form so that I can
seek feedback on it's design. It attempts to solved the books and
authors problem, a many to many relationship where the user must
enter an author for a book. If the author already exists, that
existing author's record is used. Always thought this was tricky.
