I think we have to be careful not to do that.Tom Hoffmanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08577165613934129833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7719550.post-68987788225384300292007-11-09T00:35:00.000-05:002007-11-09T00:35:00.000-05:00Hello, Tom,<BR/><BR/>Um, yeah.<BR/><BR/>Creating an account always helps.<BR/><BR/>/me shuffles off to rant elsewhere<BR/><BR/>I take it back -- this is well done, and the fact that you can export these docs is a great step.<BR/><BR/>I'm glad to be wrong on this.<BR/><BR/>Cheers,<BR/><BR/>BillBill Fitzgeraldhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14264426268788575790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7719550.post-1341099971175279802007-11-08T21:16:00.000-05:002007-11-08T21:16:00.000-05:00Bill,<BR/><BR/>As far as I can tell exporting pages works on the Free Reading wiki.Tom Hoffmanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08577165613934129833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7719550.post-10530899367247854342007-11-08T15:20:00.000-05:002007-11-08T15:20:00.000-05:00Or, better yet, why not make the whole thing exportable using Mediawiki's export pages feature?<BR/><BR/>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Export<BR/><BR/>I'd argue that there resource isn't open source, but that it's freely available. A good start, but we can and should be looking for more.<BR/><BR/>Until content is made truly portable (ie, recontextualizable) open content will not reach its potential. And, at this point, the barriers are more organizational than technical.Bill Fitzgeraldhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14264426268788575790noreply@blogger.com
