[Mageia-dev] references to outside web sites/wiki

Hi!
+
+(same post sent to mageia-dev)
+
+If you find, or wrote, in our wiki (http://wiki.mageia.org/en/ ) stuff
+that references documentation hosted on the MDV wiki
+(http://wiki.mandriva.com/ ), it is a good idea to not only reference
+it now, but to really import the content into our own wiki, now.
+
+That is valid for other sources as well, of course, but
+wiki.mandriva.com may be shut down for good in just a few days (no
+comment about the thing, just stating a fact).
+
+wiki.mandriva.com contents are licensed under CC-By-SA 2.5 (see
+http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Mandriva:Copyrights). So you can import
+contents from it, please comment your commit with a mention to the
+original URL + a mention in the end of the article, like "Portions of
+this are imported from ..., licensed under CC-By-SA 2.5". It can be
+portions, or full articles.
+
+Would be good too to be able to mount a static mirror copy of it, if
+it's needed, but I am not sure how to import it (wget'ing a mediawiki
+instance is tricky).
+
+Btw, do we have hard dependencies (documentation, I mean) in other
+MDV's online resources? Bugzilla? List archives? or are these properly
+archived elsewhere? other?
+
+(note to self, push forward the contributions & db licensing policy to
+make it really explicit that it will be encouraged to do so with
+Mageia's stuff)
