[Easily Distracted] Liveblogging NITLE, “Scholarly Collaboration and Small Colleges in ...: I’m not saying professional archivists loathe or are not interested in the work they collect and maintain, and the Wikipedia model of adversarial content creation often produces a weak kind of compromise knowledge as opposed to something distinctive. But there’s a way in which an archive of materials on anarchism maintained by people with a sympathetic interest in anarchism has a heuristic that doesn’t track the movement of anarchism in and out of related (even antagonistic) social and political movements.
[PreservationNation] Ravioli, Pierniki & Authenticity: Thoughts for a New Year: The following day I was taking my twelve gift bags of cookies to work for my colleagues and listening to an NPR podcast of “Books” from the previous week on my iPod, when I heard an interview that connected my daily work involving authenticity and sustainability with the recipes for ravioli and pierniki. Laura Schenone was being interviewed about her latest book, The Lost Ravioli Recipes of Hoboken: A Search for Food and Family.
[en.Wikizine.org] Year: 2007 Week: 52 Number: 88: Among them three new Wikiquotes, five Wikinewses, one Wikisource, seven Wikiversities, eleven Wiktionaries and ten Wikipedia's. This means that these projects can move on to the Wikimedia Incubator project, and can get their own environment if they succeed to establish the community and project.
[Tribe.net: Crooners & Songbirds] SPOTLIGHT FOR NOVEMBER 24TH!!: Ironically, 57 years after his death, Scott Joplin finally became a household name because his music (most notably "The Entertainer") was used by Marvin Hamlisch in his score for the popular film The Sting. Although he only recorded cylinders and piano rolls, Scott Joplin's music has been fully documented with "Maple Leaf Rag"
[en.Wikizine.org] Year: 2007 Week: 46 Number: 84: Sue Gardner, the unofficial executive director of the WMF, said that is was not a problem because technically the Wikimedia Foundation is not paying the editors but the donor does. The WMF is "just facilitating a relationship between a donor who wants to see a particular thing happen in the projects, and a trusted volunteer who shares the same goal".
[Linux Operating system; Configuration, How to and news focused on (Fedora, Debian, Ubuntu, Centos) - http://www.go2linux.org] Seven Wonders of the Linux World: Project Athena (a joint project between Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC), MIT and IBM to provide easy access to computing resources for all students) needed a platform-independent graphics system to link together its heterogeneous multiple-vendor systems; the window system then under development in Carnegie Mellon University's Andrew Project did not make licences available, and no alternatives existed.
[The CareerXroads Annex | ERE Blog Network] 2007 Is Shaping Up As A Staffing Watershed: Itzbig and Checkster are examples of successful industry pioneers who have learned and returned with new ideas on new platforms rather than continuously attempting to refine virtual analogs of broken processes. I likened Itzbig's job board and contact management mashup potential to the day Dick Fosbury decided that the Western Roll wasn’t as effective as a backwards leaning flop (see Wikipedia).
[THE BARKSDALE BUZZ: Behind the Scenes at Barksdale Theatre in Central VA] Barksdale and Friends: But these days, if there’s something the younger Gen Y can’t Google in a sec, Wikipedia will at least tell them what it is. Social networking sites like Facebook allow them (and anyone else who’s game) to create a page where friends can .
[the guy by the door ...] The Wikipedians are here!: It is much more realistic than catch phrases that appear in the news. At the same time, Wales has built what is overwhelmingly a volunteer organization and seems to understand that he has to take direction from them as well as give it.
[en.Wikizine.org] Wikizine - number: 50: that Shi Zao had stated that the block is lifted because "a well-connected friend wrote a letter to the Propaganda Department a week before Wikipedia became unblocked" and that "The Government is now convinced that Wikipedia is neutral".
