Guest guest Posted December 21, 2006 Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 Hi all, Interesting idea. I've looked at the mediawiki website. The software is free, I've just downloaded it. It uses php and mysql which are database languages. I use these to run the Times online journal. Installing and setting it up isn't a problem as such. It's the long term time of moderating the changes, which with open access globally, are likely to come in thick and fast. You'll have to have a good knowledge and plenty of reference books to check all the info entered as TCM is a vast and largely untranslated subject. It will therefore take a team of committed moderators to run it. Otherwise, the setup costs are relatively low. If it takes off however, it's going to eat up alot of server space and all this costs money. It will need to find funding from somewhere, either by donation. If it could be self supporting financially, I may be in a position to provide the server space and have it installed, but I'm already very busy to moderate the info being entered. Any ideas anyone?

Guest guest Posted December 21, 2006 Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 John, Thanks for the info. The initial start up costs would be the cost of the domain, installation costs and server costs. The running costs really depends on how successful it is, the more data in it, the more space it takes and bandwidth used. The first year costs including initial start up costs would roughly be around £400 ($800). That's without the web design costs which i could avoid by doing it myself. It's alot of work for no real return except for the good of the TCM community. I'll have to seriously think if i have the time and money to take it on.

Guest guest Posted December 22, 2006 Report Share Posted December 22, 2006 Hello, I am new to the group. My name is David Botton, I am a student of TCM in Florida and new to the list. I am also a software engineer and have a number of web servers. I am willing to host the server, do the technical work and cover the basic costs. I also have a considerable amount of personal TCM content I can place on the wiki to start it off from a site I have maintained with my notes for the last two years (mostly acupuncture, but also some herbs and bio medicine). If there is no objection, I can have the basic site ready by this coming week and can start loading my content in. Which I would hope that others would review and change, the point of a wiki. The site would likely need some graphic work, would Attilio consider this as you mentioned? Moderation is something that comes in time, for example most of wikipedia is not moderated only certain abused topics are locked down. The idea though is that every change is logged and can be reversed and tracked. If moderation becomes needed discussion on this list I am sure would produce willing candidates. Please let me know if there is interest in my setting up the above and I will take the next step. David Botton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Witness the wealth of study guide and exam-cram publications.

The very idea of the CORE DATA, a digital replay of the pooling and filtering as has been going in the same circles from the Ming dynasty through TCM, is in effect nothing more than commentary, interpretation of the wealth of directions and hints in the Han-to-Song classics, oral teachings, case-studies and other forms of accumulated experience. All the emphasis on credentials and " status " , registration, PINs, together with the Specific Team – you're not talking about a wiki here.

One strong aspect of wiki (as exemplified by Wikipedia) is the wealth of linkages, within and to without the database itself. A CORE data could be created by an externally referential network alone, that is, to exemplary versions and fragments that already exist. And by exemplary I mean including alternative interpretations. Trying to authoritatively redefine and recompile the whole shebang would, again, be like trying to reincarnate the spirit and labors of the CCP's Ministery of Health, Science and Technology Press, et al. There's a wealth, perhaps a morass of data out there. To be yet forged are clever tools for creating and exploring live threads of association and reference, to feed new insights or prospective solutions, perspectives. For instance, I could see useful a mechanism to encapsulate references, e.g. to book, page, paragraph, sentence from, say Volker Scheid's book, or Unschuld, or Hammer (to use examples I cited in the previous message to this forum). One could fashion a thought thread with some key ideas (connective tissue, so to speak) and such linkages to form a commentary. A reader could interactively run though selected links, creating his/her own thread, or perhaps invoke a function to assemble the connective skeleton and the narratively embedded links into a prose document. Maybe even publishable documents… but ah then the intellectual property issues. Undoubtedly more to follow… fascinating thread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 25, 2006 Report Share Posted December 25, 2006 Certainly that would be appreciated so would considering to write articles, case studies, personal experiences, etc. Feel free to add content already. Wiki's take some getting used to. When you click a link that has no content, you will have the opportunity to create that page. If you want to add a new page, you edit a page an add a link to the new page like this: [[My new page]] Save that page then click on your new link to create the new page for it.

Guest guest Posted December 25, 2006 Report Share Posted December 25, 2006 Given the size of the TCM pond, a wiki lilly is exactly the sort of thing needed. It creates a dynamic forum that allows for content to spread in directions that a more rigid medium of collaboration would never allow and is " self " correcting for the fundamentals in that every idea is scrutinized by many eyes from many schools.
