Hi, I just discovered your wiki Fractured Fairfax from your user page. It seems to have quite a bit of content. Are you open to collaboration with Fairfaxpedia? I can't see any mention of a license on your site; do you intend to use a license like CC BY-SA or restrict usage? I suppose we also need to mention the Fairfax Underground wiki...

 * I haven't decided what license, if any, I want to use for the Fractured Fairfax wiki, although I'm leaning towards a "no free commercial use" license.(I figure if someone's gonna make money off of something I wrote, I should get a cut of the action.) I wrote most (~1500) of the non-spam articles on the Fairfax Underground wiki and I explicitly placed my contributions to that wiki in the public domain. You can E-mail Cary Wiedemann, the owner of Fairfax Underground, at cary@fairfaxunderground.com and make sure he doesn't want to assert some other license for that content. Obviously, anything I write here automatically falls under the CC license here.

 * I can respect your desire to not have others profiting from your, of course that would mean none of the content from Fractured Fairfax could be merged to this wiki. Personally I'm a big fan of open data (e.g. OpenStreetMap), open information (e.g. Wikipedia), and open source software, so I'm certainly biased. You mention that your wiki is written from a slightly off-beat perspective, however much of what I've seen is very well referenced, straight-up informative articles. I think that's the goal of Fairfaxpedia, to be more akin to Wikipedia in some ways (NPOV) than Fairfax Underground, which seems a bit like anarchy to me (which is great for some). Whatever you choose, I'll be glad to see you contributing some of your knowledge to this wiki.

 * I think you're correct in your assessment that Muraca wants this to be a NPOV resource, which contrasts with the vision I have for FracturedFairfax, which is that it's heavily POV influenced (namely, my POV, since I'm the only one who's written anything there). I'm a fan of open data and open content, as well, which is why I'm willing to contribute here and abide by Muraca's terms and conditions (when he actually gets around to writing them, that is).

 * Hi Chuck. Yes, you're correct. FP is definitely meant to be unbiased, citation/reference based, etc. Most of these guidelines are outline on the Fairfaxpedia:Guidelines page.
