New page

== Proposal ==

New software, perhaps a fork of [[GetWiki]], could become the major monitoring and tracking interface to the [[GFDL text corpus]] as a whole. This was suggested as a major drive in [[GetWiki:2.0]]. This page is for discussion and debate of useful features - this might also relate to, or affect, the proposed default [[Recyclopedia:GFDL]] notice.

In theory, any service based on this software could track changes to any other wiki, even if they didn't use a [[standard wiki URI]], as long as they did not try to actively obscure their URIs or require logins (as [[orkut]] does). It seems likely that a typical RecentChanges log could look something like this:

Such a log, theoretically, would include all changes to the [[GFDL text corpus]] at large public wikis and others one specifically chose. If one wanted to see only changes in English, that's a GetWiki user preference. If one wanted to see only changes to certain large public wikis, ignore others, that too is a user preference setting. If one wanted to assign some fictional common identity to various user accounts or IP numbers, that too is a user preference. This might be very effective in tracking activity. Whether to edit the page that changed, or a parallel page, or a local or peer to peer shared one, is ideally also a user preference long-term.

This is really nothing but a merge of the GetWiki [[Special:RecentChanges]] and MediaWiki Special:RecentChanges and potentially other wiki code used for [[GFDL text corpus]] management, such as [[MoinMoin]] and [[UseMod]] code.
