Deadline approaches for relicensing wikis
This could be important to you if you operate a wiki, or have any contact with someone who does.
I'm contacting wiki operators who use the GFDL license, who may not be aware of the latest news on GFDL and Creative Commons. The message is:
I hope you're switching from GFDL to CC-BY-SA, the same as Wikipedia, other Wikimedia sites, Appropedia and many other wikis. There's only 22 days left till the end-of-July deadline.
You as the wiki's operator can make the call, and just change it over as soon as you make the decision.
Let me know if you have questions.
I've just gone through Green wiki and development wiki page, found a number of wikis that are still under the GFDL, and sent emails to each, or left messages for the operators on their talk pages.
Perhaps we could share the work of going through WikiIndex and/or AboutUs and finding more wikis that are still under GFDL.
Who's in? How do we divide the effort? I'm interested in those wikis on serious topics (on green topics or history, say, rather than a video game).
Pass the word along, please - tweet, blog, and email to everyone who needs to know.
