Talk:how to organize Anarchopedia

(Moved from the article page): I'd suggest using Wikipedia as a model. Add a group of links on the main page that link to different forms of organization. Categories, subjects, alphabetical index, etc.
Link to New Main Page. --Paragon 11:04, 2 Oct 2004 (CDT)

Maybe I didn't choose the right name for the page, but I think we have to talk about something else. All of us (in this moment) have experience in work on Wikipedia. (I announced existance of Anarchopedia only on the Wikipedia mailing list and Wikipedia article "Anarchism". Also, I sent mail to editorial of An Anarchist FAQ. I didn't make any text about Anarchopedia to announce to Infoshop, Indymedia etd., so we need to write something...) However, I think that the question is not how we would make links to articles; we know how to do that and the question about design or what should be at the first page would come later. We need to find how to organize our work: how to escape from power structure in the time when we need more then maintaince... --Millosh 11:26, 2 Oct 2004 (CDT)

I rented server, bought domains and installed MediaWiki. I will work on English Anarchopedia until it has it's own "life". After that, I would contribute something small and I will work on Serbian Anarchopedia, because my native language is Serbian. If Anarchopedia stays on the server which I am renting, I can do some maintance which couldn't be done from the web interface... I don't want to give right to myself to decide what is right and what is wrong. This is the job of (future) community of Anarchopedia. And I think that this is the meta question of Anarchopedia. And I need that all of us solve that question. Honestly, I don't have clear idea how to do it. --Millosh 11:26, 2 Oct 2004 (CDT)

Ah, I see what you mean. I thought you meant the organization of the main page. You're trying to avoid hierarchy. I think the problem will solve itself when the time comes. It's an evolutionary process, and while it may have it's problems, the main user base here will be anarchists, and it will likely work better than in other cases.--Paragon 12:50, 2 Oct 2004 (CDT)

Image deletion

I am mildly concerned that uploads could be easily and permanently deleted by anyone who wants to harm the project or just wants to be mean. This problem would best be fixed by keeping deleted files after they are deleted so they could be restored if necessary. This is an issue on all MediaWiki wikis, but it could be more of an issue here when vandals are granted sysop access. Guanaco 19:40, 5 Oct 2004 (CDT)

Language stuff

I think the installation of a Mediawiki for every language is totally right, so every part works at there own and so we got e.g. news from Germany.
