Comments on: Why Wikimedia’s new revenue strategy makes me happy http://suegardner.org/2010/07/17/hello-world/ Imagine a world in which I update this blog regularly. Tue, 06 Mar 2012 01:07:44 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: James Salsman http://suegardner.org/2010/07/17/hello-world/#comment-32 Sat, 07 Aug 2010 10:22:50 +0000 http://suegardner.wordpress.com/?p=1#comment-32 My favorite part of the new budget is off line editing, because it’s technically equivalent to peer-to-peer wikis. I’m so glad the pending revisions roll out went well (worth the wait, even!) because the third party operations for pending revisions are very similar to the third party edit conflict resolution necessary for offline editing and p2p wikis. I was worried that whole avenue of research was being neglected, but I tried to push for it as subtly as I could (by putting it in an overly-ambitious California Chapter funding request) and I’m so glad it worked out and filtered through to the hegemony.

There are so many things I want to suggest it is really difficult to gauge when I’m pushing too hard and when I’m not pushing hard enough.

(I think Danese Cooper (our CTO) will be up next though.) The schedule’s maintained here: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/IRC_office_hours

It makes me feel very good to hear depending on small donations yields more money for less investment as well as giving more independence. One more step in building free culture.
