This page is about Wikigogy.org -- its technical development, Web and copyleft strategy, people, etc.

Contents

[edit] Web strategy

Keep it simple and free.

Keep usability uppermost.

Use navigation elements to make it clear what is here and how to find it.

Anyone can edit. Keep it open.

[edit] Copyleft

Material that is licensed to be freely moved and stay free is more likely to mature and grow useful wherever it best can. CC BY-SA copyleft seems about right for that. I am tempted to us CC BY for greater content mobility. However, I sense teachers may feel and be, under the CC BY-SA license, better protected from hard work being commercially exploited without being returned to the commons. Share alike makes Open a two way door instead of an Exit Only door. Share alike is a contract with the commons -- for everyone.

[edit] People

Roger Chrisman launched Wikigogy in March 2006 and operates it in his spare time. Roger is not teaching and does not write lessons at the moment but focuses on helping others use the wiki. Because the project has no technical wizard, it runs on plain vanilla versions of simple software that one can easily understand and administrate.

Participation has been light.
