Strategic Planning Office Hours this week are Wednesday from 04:00-05:00 UTC, which is:
    • Tuesday, 8-9pm PST
    • Tuesday, 11pm-12am EST

    As task forces start to move toward recommendations, things are really starting to get interesting.  We invite everyone to join and get updates about process, where we are, and what we're learning.

    You can access the chat by going to http://webchat.freenode.net and filling in a username and the channel name (#wikimedia-strategy). You may be prompted to click through a security warning. It's fine. Another option is http://chat.wikizine.org.

    It's worth noting that all strategic planning office hours chats are logged and you can review old ones at http://strategy.wikimedia.org/wiki/IRC_office_hours

    Hope to see you there!

INDECT interview

This is a last-chance to review the questions for Assistant Chief
Constable Drew Harris of the Police Service of Northern Ireland, head of
the INDECT ethics board.

I know there were concerns with the last article I did on INDECT, a
number of people felt it wasn't suitably NPOV. Please, there is a need
to have an introduction on this (5W+H on who Harris is and what INDECT
is). Please make suggestions on that's format and content; there may be
points I pull out of my currently private OR which people consider POV,
or possibly even illegally obtained.

----
What are the responsibilities of the Project INDECT ethics board?

      * How does the ethics board reach decisions on what research to
        proceed with?

      * Who are the members of the Project INDECT ethics board, and who
        selected them?

      * What are the academic requirements of the ethics board?

      * What progress has there been on the project in recent months?

      * What are the kinds of situations where an alert or alarm might
        be triggered? And who would set those kinds of parameters?

      * Are you concerned that at least one European University has been
        petitioned by their student association to refuse to cooperate
        in any Project INDECT research?

      * What are the measures you'll be using to determine the success
        of the large-scale trial planned for the Euro 2012 football
        tournament?

      * How would you detect someone misusing access to INDECT data?

      * If fully implemented in Northern Ireland, approximately how many
        CCTV and speed cameras would be connected to the system?

      * Would the records on email and web browsing habits that UK ISPs
        are required to keep be included in the INDECT database?

      * Would it be possible for private businesses to make website
        activity or CCTV feeds available to INDECT?

      * Would you support private companies watermarking, or otherwise
        flagging, content to ease monitoring its reuse on the Internet?

      * Which non-public databases from police and security services
        would be added to INDECT to complement more public information?

      * Would you expect implementation of INDECT to improve collection
        of evidence leading to prosecutions?

      * Would data normally requiring a warrant or court order be held
        in INDECT? Would such be usable in a prosecution without an
        equivalent legal process to deem such evidence admissible?

      * Is the data collection required for INDECT not in violation of
        the privacy clauses contained within the European Convention on
        Human Rights?

      * Would implementation of an EU-wide version of INDECT with
        Europe-wide data sharing require UK parliamentary legislation?

      * Would actively seeking to keep browsing habits private, using
        tools such as The Onion Router (TOR) developed by the US Navy,
        be reason to flag someone for further investigation?

Steve, thanks for letting us know. We had already noticed there was a
problem with the RSS feed. Someone is looking into getting it fixed.
Longer-term Wikinews hopes to stop using feedburner and start using an
in-house solution for RSS.

You may need to check the front page of http://en.wikinews.org to see
any announcement on the feed change but, hopefully, the existing RSS
feed will be fixed shortly.

Oh, and wikinews-l is a mailing list where you need to be subscribed, or
your email address whitelisted; hence the slow response to your query.

As always, you can access the chat by going to
https://webchat.freenode.net and filling in a username and the channel
name (#wikimedia-strategy). You may be prompted to click through a

Re: News feed

Steve,

It's actually great to hear someone missing it (you weren't the only one
worried).

That's English Wikinews available again via RSS, Twitter, and Facebook.

Please consider making use of the social bookmarks available at the foot
of published articles; Wikinews has an advertising budget of, ...
er, ... zero dollars. We rely on readers to pick stories their friends
might find interesting and promote us via word of mouth.

Several of the other language editions of Wikinews also offer RSS feeds
- the first on that springs to mind is French Wikinews but, I believe,
some of the Eastern-European language versions also have feeds.

Its an improvement, they say its cc-by, but they still don't have our
name anywhere on it, or a link back. So still not quite.

Okay, can someone pick a couple of URLs from them and I'll do a polite
followup?

I don't see any reason to needlessly complicate it for them by asking
their own default copyright message not appear where they use a Wikinews
article. Just that the copyright message for the article content from
Wikinews, and a link to the Wikinews article plus license, is given.

It can be framed as the license must allow anyone who wants to further
reuse the content to easily find the original.
