Hitchwiki talk:Organization (old stuff)

• May someone outline the responsilities an organization would take over if they present themself as Legal Board of Htichwiki.org? It s just about having someone paying the Domain? Is it about having a legal Organisation backing up Hitchwiki.org? Fabzgy 16:33, 10 September 2007 (CEST)

It is about having a legal organisation to back it up. At the moment I pay the domain, and I will probably continue doing this at least for a while. --MrTweek 17:42, 10 September 2007 (CEST)

Would Option 1 mean that the wiki belongs to BV completely?

Both sounds good, but in any case I would like to keep it on my server, to have more control about it (I don't think I could get shell access to the BV-Server; Could I?)

In any case, I prefer the abgefahren-solution. I'll think about it, and let's see what others say --MrTweek 23:29, 11 September 2007 (CEST)

I don t think so. I don t think anyone in BV wants to make our server more busy. BV would probably very welcome it if you keep the wiki on your Server. It s more about a APT (Schnittstelle) between the Travelguide wiki of BW and the HW. This we we would have BeWelcome Memember editing your database. Probably completing it with new information. This could as well be done if HW decides to coohse Abgefahren e.V. as a roof organisation. Fabzgy 00:08, 12 September 2007 (CEST)

I think this would be a good solution and could be used for other organisations as well. Are there actually any APIs that make such things possible? Or is it always copying all the things and loosing the community? --Alex 01:09, 12 September 2007 (CEST)

Hey, I guess that we should choose a hitchhiking relevant organization rather than a volunteer network organization. (i hope i found the right words for both ;-) ) So my choice goes for the German Autostop Society. We of course should ask other HH Clubs/Organizations first, but currently some of the most active people here are already abgefahren members. Maybe this could be a problem for other non-members, so I would love to see some comments from them here.(guaka??) On the other hand we already have our own "abgefahren wiki", currently known as the german version of this wiki. Maybe it would be better for outstanding people to see the "english" version of the wiki in a more international way, and not like an English-written wiki from a German club. I hope you got my point of view......nevertheless, it would be great to create an interface (Schnittstelle?) between both pages, so that members of BW can also add information to the hitchwiki etc. Would be fine! And I've the same question that alex already mentioned... platschi^{site, wikitalk} 16:51, 13 September 2007 (CEST)

How should this API look like? Do they want to integrate hitchwiki into their page? This should be possible somehow. --MrTweek^{site, wikitalk} 17:05, 13 September 2007 (CEST)

I see non of the wikis as a club wiki or written by its club members. Rather, as an organization behind the wiki which ensures the sustainability and growth of the whole project itself (which his resources and/or ability to mobilize people). To come to the API, I think we talk about the same as CS has for example, just to include the wiki in a nice way into your own webpage... --Alex 19:32, 13 September 2007 (CEST)
