General Announcements

• Upgraded the Wiki to MediaWiki 1.15.1. Please report any problem! /Mike 12:19, 9 September 2009 (UTC)
• The new {{Webref}} template should make it easier to make similar referenses and external PDF links got the mini PDF icon (). Also the Book sources page is updated (try ISBN 82-00-22506-2 to have a look). /Mike 18:18, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

License

ND Wiki uses the GFDL version 1.2. Wouldn't it be better to upgrade to 1.3 and then to CC-BY-SA, to be compatible to Wikipedia? --LA2 06:55, 16 October 2009 (UTC)

Yes! Is it possible to do that in one step? --Mike 07:44, 16 October 2009 (UTC)

There are two ways: (1) If you can convince every contributor to relicense their contributions, you can change to any license at any time. I guess this is possible on ndwiki, considering how few contributors you have. How many contributors do you have? If most agree, can you afford to drop the contributions by the rest? (2) The other way is to follow the transition rules in GFDL 1.2 and 1.3, but this requires that you respect some deadline, which might already be too late. --LA2 08:47, 16 October 2009 (UTC)

The deadline for option (2) was in August 1, 2009. NDWiki have the same reason to change as Wikipedia. See GFDL 1.3: Wikipedia's exit permit. Now we need all the major contributors agreement to "upgrade" the license. /Mike 10:27, 16 October 2009 (UTC)
