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 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.
