The Open Help Conference will be taking place June 15-19 in Cincinnati Ohio, USA. The conference includes two days of presentations and open discussions, followed by team "sprints" - collaborative efforts to write and improve documentation.
It has been suggested to send a team from Wikipedia/Wikimedia: to share our own knowledge about help, learn from others in the open source community working on similar problems, and to carry out a sprint to improve some aspect of Wikipedia's help.
If you don't wish to receive this newsletter on your talk page in future then just edit the participants page and add "no newsletter" next to your name.
Reo, I must confess and yet regret to inform you that some material I sent to you previously entitled "Injection Fraction" has been redacted by Wikipedia. I am a dedicated Wiki editor and am saddened to say I lost several hundred edits under this redaction. Essentially they argued that no one had ever attempted to describe a mathematically simple inverse relationship to Ejection Fraction. I had no earthly idea that this page would run as many years as it did on Wikipedia. I remain thankful for the encouragement from like minded travelers along the way. I was finally tackled by an alert and very annoying physician from the UK (JFW). See my home page "Blocked".
Is Injection Fraction anything more than a mirror image of previously published material? Is inversion of someone else's work subject to license? If so this is a downhill slippery slope that Wikipedia is uniquely positioned to absorb. How can I contribute license to IF lock, stock and barrel to Wikipedia? My granddaughter thinks my battles with Wiki remain hilarious and that I should someday apologize to JFW. I'm thinking I should be offering an olive branch to somebody. What do you think Reo?
