An idea is not a *creative* work so it isn't covered.

We wouldn't be having this conversation had the .co.ke wiki been stable and running. I seem to remember Aki asking about the wiki on .co.ke, no one with direct responsibilty responded. I know it's all volunteer work which is why no one expects someone to be on call 24/7 whenever the .co.ke server goes down.

On the question of local content: does *physical* location make it local? Or is only the content? Or the primary audience? Or all of the above? This may have been discussed to death before, if it has please point me to the links.

I think it is disingenuous to accuse aki of borrowing ideas rather than sharing!

As for the content, why don't we agree on a license for these discussions to avoid all these issues who hosts them and where they are hosted? Can't we adopt one of the creative commons licenses?

not really surprised...same thing happened to the thread about improving the SKWs blog. Somebody took all the ideas and quickly registered a domain (www.since97.com) and is now asking SKWs members to contribute.

It would appear that most people are just short of ideas and are merely looking to SKWs to 'borrow' ideas rather than share. Of course i'd assume the end goal is making money and thus the need to control the sites through privately registered domains.
