The day-page-set for the talk in the Melbourne-wiki
Read the talk, explained.
The talk in which wikis do we listen to? Who is listening to the talk in the Melbourne-wiki? See the
wiki-net talk.
experiments with google
MattisManzel:
The google wave presentation did impress me, yes. I’m thus experimenting with google. On orkut.com - Melbourne-wiki you find the inclusion of google reader - Melbourne-wiki. Currently I have to click share for every post. That’s not it yet. Hmm.
Found it. You have to use a folder that is public.
This page http://www.google.com/reader/shared/user/09054634379483746770/label/autoshared generates this feed http://www.google.com/reader/public/atom/user/09054634379483746770/label/autoshared
Lemme try to include it
Doesn’t work. Is there rss instead of atom?
On google profiles - Melbourne-wiki you find back our external links.
A hello to the Melbourne Linux user group
MattisManzel:
A hello from here to the Melbourne Linux user group. Great you run a wiki! I tried the dokuwiki software myself - using dokuwiki I mean, not setting it up. It’s very good.
MelbourneLinuxUserGroup or Melbourne-wiki - Melbourne Linux user group links to your home page in the Melbourne-wiki.
The list of other user groups in Melbourne is impressing. http://www.mlug.org.au/doku.php/other_groups
Have a nice day all.
contents from the original Melbourne-wiki recovered, feed inclusion
MattisManzel:
I recovered as much as I could find of the original Melbourne wiki from the internet archive [1] and moved the contents into the new Melbourne-wiki. You find links on the page Melbourne.
I searched for Melbourne rss in the Australian Google and included some random feeds into pages on the web-site list. Almost every feed can be included into the Melbourne-wiki, Oddmuse is good for that. So if you know a Melbourne blog or whatever that should have a home page here drop the url in the talk, please. I will show you how to do it. It’s not that difficult.
It’s raining wikis for Melbourne
MattisManzel:
Here we go, another wiki for Melbourne: http://www.melpedia.com.au/
It seems part of a wiki hive http://www.wikitoria-network.com/ which I’d say is likely Victoria located.
The Melbourne-wiki uses local names
MattisManzel:
There has been some development of the wiki-net going on since last autumn - I decided to adapt the Melbourne-wiki to it. We use local names now, a brilliant invention by LionKimbro which I’ve been silly enough not to understand for several years. You write for example [[Melbourne-wiki - talk]] on any page of any wiki in the entire wiki-net and it links to our talk.
The other way around it’s similar. Link to any page of any wiki in the wiki-net by writing [[name of the wiki - name of the page]]
Examples
Additionally naming the wiki-hive is optional.
Where is the original Melbourne-wiki?
MattisManzel:
The original Melbourne-wiki seems to be gone. I googled a bit, where the heck is it? Hmm. I have the feeling the project has been abandoned. In that case I’d love to rename the Melbourne-odd-wiki to Melbourne-wiki and import the data from the original Melbourne-wiki, if I get hold of them somewhere. In case the original Melbourne-wiki comes back live sorry for the over-engagement. Somebody knows more about http://www.melwiki.com/? Thanks.
Hm http://web.archive.org/web/*/melwiki.com
MattisManzel:
Maybe the Mµs from Melbourne would be more suitable for the bar to the right? Dunno.
“revival”
MattisManzel:
Ok, I revived the Melbourne-wiki after a bit of a “contemplation phase”. 
Is there something about this wiki you especially like or dislike?
Changing the logo or the picture on top is easy, propose please. I just took kinda the first Melbourne-one I found, you know?
The feed for the #Melbourne tweets in the bar to the right is doubled and too bold, sure. Well, I’m happy there’s something including at least.
For whatever other Melbourne related twitter hashtag like #NameOfAMelbournePub or whatever we can make a new page and include the hashtag into it - like MelbourneTwitterUndergroundBrigade. I still like #Melbourne in the bar to the right.
The [[Melbourne_Wiki?]] is down currently. Someone knows why?
Latest News: The spam blacklist extension has now been installed on [[Melbourne_Wiki?]], to block URLs judged to be spam by our administration. --Myrtone
new css
MattisManzel:
Heyho, Melbourne. We have a new css, nicely scaling now (try ctr + “+” to enlarge and ctr + “-” to diminish it, use Firefox). We have an “edit this page” link to the right on every wiki-page. The prior “tools / edit this page” pop-up unfortunately wouldn’t work in m$ie, so we had to drop it.
The photo is from here. I hope it’s ok for you.
sysop userpages are only for sysops to edit unless otherwise stated
Back at [[Melbourne_Wiki?]], I would like to suggest that sysop userpages are only for sysops to edit unless they (individually) state otherwise. I suggest that any sysop [[userpage?]] may be protected by any other [[Sysop?]] unless they explicitly state otherwise. --Myrtone
MattisManzel:
Hi myrtone. I suggest giving announcements a title here. Day-pages are easier understood as a beginning-date of a “thread” - which if good enough - turns a new topical wiki-page (or day-page set even) later. That’s what I’m up to experiment with on DayPageSandWiki:FrontPage.
~~~~ is not activated on odd-wiki yet.
Melbourne-odd-wiki opened
Today, we are now asking Melbourne-wiki folks not to use our other site like a forum, instead, personal opinions and other general discussion can find a new home here. --Myrtone
moved here from events
What exaclty are these “event pages”? -Myrtone-
MattisManzel:
For example: 2006-12-02 Event
You say “piped links don’t seem to work”. Where?
Check the wiki-net events - Melbourne’s and Stuttgart’s and Venezia’s events merged. Doesn’t make any sense at all as the cities are in fact too distant. But it could be a neighbor community and then it would make sense. Just for demonstration.
On wiki-net faces I added the city-wiki-center and the odd-wiki-center-en. Their face-entries appear on our wiki-net faces automatically. Our face automatically appears on city-wiki-center - wiki-net faces.
That’s the difference: the face is syndicated and appears elsewhere, the talk is private and not syndicated. The feed for the talk exists but is not in use. I don’t list it on th page what determines our wiki-net anymore. (correction in 2008: the talk is syndicated again).
The Melbourne-odd-wiki has been created
MattisManzel:
… MattisManzel-wiki: talk / 2006-11-22 … Ok, Myrtone, thanks for creating the Melbourne-odd-wiki. I don’t understand the css myself but you can experiment and see what changes what. The page odd-wiki-center-en: css-voodoo explains it a little. For the banner you need a 740 x 195 px .jpg. Insert the url in the css where it’s written banner (keep the “). If you wanna join in on the design I use: for the Melbourne-odd-wiki in the banner the font is Verdana bold, 20 pt, color #F27FFF.
An event-calendar for Melbourne would make sense, I thought.
Lemme right away introduce the Wednesday-bug to you. When the last day of a month is a Sunday it “centers” and turns a Wednesday. Not many last days are Sundays
Next are September 07, August and November 08, …
Sure, this is all just a proposal, this is wiki, change whatever you think can be improved or remove whatever you think doesn’t serve you. Thanks for giving odd-wiki a try.
Stuttgart is in southwest Germany. Gotta update their events. Then the wiki-net events are kinda the recent changes to the events in our wiki-net, the youngest major edit on top. Minor edits to an event do not make it jump up to today on the wiki-net events. Over time we’ll hopefully find a closer neighbor than Stuttgart
The wiki-netified city-wikis are still rare (Stuttgart-wiki and Sylt-wiki in German and Venezia-wiki in broken Italian and the city-wiki-center in English).
Hi the Melbourne-wiki-folks btw. Myrtone created it, I just (over) wiki-netified it
I hope you like it. Use it as you like to.
