Scavenging Citizendium, etc.

Trent, you mentioned that you can host additional wikis on your server. I'm thinking of what may be one or more wikis to create and make available, initially as a personal contribution, with the intention of inviting compatible contributors but not trying to deal with the politics of a fully open wiki. The first goal is to preserve and extend the politicomilitary material I produced at CZ. When I looked a while back, I had started perhaps 20% of the articles.

I also want to start a resource in other professional areas of mine, beginning with provider-oriented computer networking, and then probably spreading into medicine and medical informatics. ("I'm not a physician but I play one on a computer").

Unfortunately, I don't know Wiki software well enough to do bulk extracts and copies from CZ, of material I've edited. I am probably up to writing Perl (or if I learn Python) scripts to change templates for the target wiki. As I get back into programming, though, I hope to use semantic web technology to explore political and power networks.

You can contact me at hcb at netcases dot net.
