Post your questions on this page, maybe somebody will answer them.

  • Question 1: Does anybody know, using MediaWiki, how to make the names of all the pages, which link to this page, automatically appear on this page. I know about the what links here hyperlink, but I'm talking about just having the clickable names of the pages automatically appear in the first place
Answer:
  • Question 2: Does anyone have a non profit tax exempt number for the ability to get some in kind donations? MarkDilley
Answer: There are plenty of potential fiscal sponsors. Was this a barrier to sponsorship this year? --Eugene Eric Kim

When I would call they usually wanted either or both a 501(c)3 # or our request on letterhead. Kristin 03:47, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

We should start a discussion somewhere about the right long-term solution. Dirk Riehle has talked about establishing a nonprofit for WikiSym. I also noticed similar discussions for Wiki Index. Meatball and CommunityWiki have also discussed the possibility of formalizing. It may be that the time is right for a more formal body to emerge in the Wiki community. For the short-term, feel free to ping me for a hook-up. I know of several nonprofits who would be happy to act as a fiscal sponsor. They generally take about 10 percent off of revenues for overhead. --Eugene Eric Kim

This question of fiscal agency has been a really big one within the Emerging Futures Network. This may be a place to work together. TedErnst 15:52, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
With fiscal control comes loss control. With loss control comes image/agenda control. Have we addressed the issue of self-organizaion/self-control versus non-self-governance? Kristin 00:41, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Question 3: Where's Ken Tyler? I quoted him all last year. -Kristin
Answer: Ken is based in Berkeley. --Eugene Eric Kim

  • Question 4: Is there a lost and found? Now, I see that I left a stapler, tape, and a couple other things (consumables, not that important).
Answer: Hey Kristin, I think either Brandon or Ray has your things. Brandon, Ray? MarkDilley
  • Question 5: Who got us the PDC sponsorship? - Kristin
Answer:
  • Question 6: My page got spammed. How do I Revert? Kristin 21:58, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
Kristin, I made you a sysop so you now have the "rollback" button when looking at a diff. This works great if there's only one spam edit since it was last patrolled. Otherwise, you have to go further back and edit the older version manually to revert. Ask MarkDilley for help in the webIRC for AboutUs.org: : http://www.aboutus.org/LiveChat
