WikiLeaks

Examples of WikiLeaks in the following topics:

• Freedom of the Press

  • Some of the recent issues in restrictions of free press include: the U.S. military censoring blogs written by military personnel; the Federal Communications Commission censoring television and radio, citing obscenity; Scientology suppressing criticism, citing freedom of religion; and censoring of WikiLeaks at the Library of Congress.

• Choosing a Wiki

  • That way your wiki will be automatically integrated with your repository or other project permissions, and you can rely on the site's user account system instead of having a separate registration system for the wiki.
  • If you are setting up your own wiki, then you're free to choose which one, and fortunately there are plenty of good free software wiki implementations available.
  • Another good resource is Wikipedia's own list of wikis: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_wiki_software.
  • I do not recommend using MediaWiki (mediawiki.org) as the wiki software for most projects.
  • Second, many other wikis offer a MediaWiki-syntax plugin, so you can have that syntax anyway if you really want it.

• Wikis and Spam

  • Never allow open, anonymous editing on your wiki.
  • The days when that was possible are long gone now; today, any open wiki other than Wikipedia will be covered completely with spam in approximately 3 milliseconds.
  • All edits in your project's wiki must come from registered users; if your wiki software doesn't already enforce this by default, then configure it to enforce that.

• Introduction to Wikis

  • A well-run wiki can be a wonderful thing for users, however, and is worth some effort to maintain.
  • Most importantly, document these standards in the wiki itself and point people to them, so editors have somewhere to go for guidance.
  • So don't just set up the wiki and hope everything falls into place.
  • The shining example of a well-run wiki is Wikipedia, of course, and in some ways it makes a poor example because it gets so much more editorial attention than any other wiki in the world.
  • While you may not need the same level of preparedness to run a wiki for a free software project, the spirit is worth emulating.

• Additional cost and energy saving suggestions for pumps

  • Eliminate leaks in compressed air lines and valves.
  • Up to 20% of the work output of a compressor is sometimes needed to make up for losses from air leaks.
  • Eliminate leaks in steam pipes and fittings.
  • A leak in a steam line can result in higher steam production requirements to compensate for what is lost.
  • In addition, leaking condensate return lines bring back less condensate to their boiler, thereby forcing the boiler to use more energy to heat up replacement water.
