[Users #LinkStationWiki] [ ElGringo^] [ mjmac ] [ Shrike   ] [ waite] [ jacques  ] [ ohayden] [ tampakuro] -!- Irssi: #LinkStationWiki: Total of 7 nicks [0 ops, 0 halfops, 0 voices, 7 normal] 15:49:03 anybody in charge here? 15:51:32 < Shrike> Of what? 15:51:44 the wiki 15:51:59 Just a comment. 15:52:09 < ElGringo^> nope 15:52:47 I have no problem whatsoever with you guys copying our (kurobox.com) technical information, in fact I'm all for sharing the info, 15:53:12 But do us a favor and don't copy out non-technical stuff 15:53:35 like the definition on the bottom of the main linkstationwiki.net page 15:54:00 It isn't even correct for your hardware. 15:55:50 < Shrike> I've no idea what you are talking about, but the guys that are actively doing the wiki aren't here now 15:56:00 < Shrike> You are talking about the new one, right? 15:56:17 < Shrike> Oh wait 15:56:21 yes. the definition at the bottom of the main page. 15:57:02 < Shrike> Are you talking about "LinkStation ('li[ng]k-'stA-sh&n), n. 1. A Linux Based NAS device. 2. a highly hackable headless                   PowerPC or MIPS computer....." 15:57:22 Yes. didn't want to just edit the page and remove it. That would be uncool. 15:57:43 < Shrike> Why is it not correct? 15:58:21 < ElGringo^> never really looked at kurobox.com before. but it's true, looks *very* similar 15:58:43 I guess it is correct, but can't your wiki writers come up with an original thought there? 15:59:36 < Shrike> I couldn't say, as so far I don't kow what you are talking about specifically? 15:59:59 < Shrike> Are you saying, LinkStation is hardware that is copied off KuroBox? 16:00:14 < ElGringo^> he's talking about the way the information is presented 16:00:17 < Shrike> Or are you saying the information on the wiki is copied off your site? 16:00:20 < ElGringo^> and he's right, imho 16:00:31 < ElGringo^> look at the bottom of "our" wiki 16:00:40 < ElGringo^> and then at the top of the kurobox.com wiki 16:00:47 < Shrike> I know, its dictionary formatted information 16:01:06 No. I'm saying that somebody copied the top 4 or 5 lines of our wiki and pasted it almost verbatim into the bottom 4 or 5 lines of linkstationwiki.net. 16:01:23 < Shrike> "a highly hackable headless PowerPC computer. It has Ethernet, USB, and an optional serial port" 16:01:39 < ElGringo^> tampakuro is right. that's pretty uncool and lame 16:01:52 * Shrike *sigh* 16:02:06 It isn't technical stuff, it is creative stuff that was copied there. Don't you guys want your wiki to be something your group came up with? 16:02:07 < Shrike> I'll see to it that the editors get this note 16:02:51 Like I said, feel free to copy or link to any technical stuff but you guys should want to come up with your own look. 16:03:08 < Shrike> No offence here, but that is 10-15 words and a highly accurate description. Are you talking it should be credited or                  just pissed that the Wiki uses it? 16:03:39 Otherwise, you might as well just join us in one big happy hacking group. 16:03:45 < Shrike> I'll let the editors know about it, none the less 16:04:17 What I'm saying is that you should be coming up with your own creative stuff. 16:04:26 < Shrike> Yes. I got that already. 16:04:34 Thanks guys. 16:04:43 < Shrike> np 16:07:42 < ElGringo^> btw, the explanation at the bottom of the page is pretty useless, anyway
