Just to throw in a bit of discussion: Alex, I would definitely like to know your thoughts on Wikia vs. our own install. Obviously spam is one issue. Easy of use (ie., markup language) is probably another. On the our-install side, I can think of three arguments: 1) not relying on a 3rd party (issues of access, especially if Wikia goes defunct somehow) 2), supporting open-source software, and 3) no ads. Personally, I'm still for the wiki.aoir.org install, but by creating a Wikia page without some kind of 'official' support of the org, I'm concerned efforts will be divided across both wikis (well, that is, if we can get new accounts on our own wiki...). I'm happy to volunteer, btw, to be the point person for helping create new accounts for people that need them. --- Alexander Leavitt PhD Student USC Annenberg School for Communication & Journalism http://alexleavitt.com Twitter: @alexleavitt On Tue, Aug 6, 2013 at 6:41 AM, Jeremy hunsinger <jhuns@vt.edu> wrote:

Great Job Alex,
I guess the http://wiki.aoir.org 's heyday was probably back in 2003-2005. It was and is a good idea to have a wiki, spamming aside, and yes i do still help maintain it sometimes on the old url. It would be good to find a way to migrate some of the content from the old site to the new site though. I paid for some of of the content to be added to the wiki by one of my center assistants back in the day, the lists of researchers and a few other things. Those sorts of things were handy and drew some traffic at the time. However, they slowly became dated i guess. _______________________________________________ The Air-L@listserv.aoir.org mailing list is provided by the Association of Internet Researchers http://aoir.org Subscribe, change options or unsubscribe at: http://listserv.aoir.org/listinfo.cgi/air-l-aoir.org
