LQ Wiki Adds the Ability to Contribute GFDL Content
quote:As of August 17th, 2005 the LQ Wiki allows you to use either the CC by-sa license or the GFDL. All articles in the main namespace are licensed under the CC by-sa license (which is how is has been from the beginning). All GFDL content must go in the GFDL namespace. It is important to understand the license of the content you are submitting. You should verify that you are not mixing content from two incompatible licenses. If you are submitting original content we strongly recommend you use the main namespace.
This was done after careful consideration. The current objective of the LQ Wiki is to create the "largest general Linux knowledgebase on the web". To meet this goal, I think we need to embrace the fact that the Open Source community consists of documentation that is under multiple licenses (for better or for worse). As always, your feedback is appreciated.

That's right - you can now stream any LQ Radio content even if you don't have an mp3 or ogg player installed. The one caveat is that you do need flash installed (which I will admit to disliking, and apologize in advance for - if someone can think of a better solution, we're all ears). Head on over to LQ Radio and click the "LQ Radio Jukebox" link. I'll also add it to the nav here at LQ. As always, your feedback is appreciated.

LQ Bookmarks is now out of beta. From the Press Release:
quote:Buffalo, NY -- July 11, 05 -- LinuxQuestions.org is proud to announce a new addition to its network of sites - LQ Bookmarks. LQ Bookmarks allows you to bookmark, tag, annotate and share links to Open Source and Linux related sites. It also allows you to access your bookmarks from any browser on any machine. The ability to share and see what others are sharing is called social bookmarking. You can view links in the order they were added, by tag, by user or by popularity. RSS feeds are available for all queries. All content on the site is available under a Creative Commons license.
Thanks again goes to David.

As I mentioned here and in the latest LQ Podcast, we have been working on a new site that allows you to not only share, tag and annotate the Linux and Open Source sites you frequent, but see what everyone else is sharing, tagging and annotating. Sort of a random stream of consciousness or instant snapshot of what is important to the community, right now. I am happy to announce that the site is now in full public beta. Head over to http://bookmarks.linuxquestions.org/ to start entering your links. Keep in mind that it is still beta, but most functionality should be there and things are reasonably stable. Feedback and bug reports are welcome and encouraged. Let us know what you think. If you are currently using the LQ bookmark system, we've added links to easily migrate to the new system.
I am proud to announce that two days ago, LinuxQuestions.org officially turned five. Exactly one week from today (also five years ago) I made by first post. We've come a long long way and I'd like to thank each and every member for making LQ what it is. Without it's members, LQ would be nothing. I am happy to report that this year should be a big year for LQ. We have a ton of great things on the way (including an updated forum). We should also be adding some new sites to the LQ network, which already includes the LQ Wiki and LQ ISO. As always, we want to know what you think. What does LQ need? What are we missing? In what direction would you like to see us go? Any and all feedback is welcome - we really are listening.
