==Some Interesting Ideas (Alexander Phoenix)==
Hi Ray. In trying to move articles from Icannwiki.org to Icannwiki.com, I've encountered several (to me) serious issues, and I've been thinking about how to resolve them effectively, and I have a few ideas. If you've already tried these things, as I dare say you have, my sincere apologies.
In a great many cases, as you know, articles on Icannwiki.org are completely non-existent except for a name, a picture and a caricature. Of course you intend to correct this situation, but of course it probably isn't cost effective for you to hire people to write all these articles. So what I was thinking is why not get people to write their articles themselves? Why not send each person featured on the site an email, telling them about Icannwiki (if they don't know about it, that is) and hinting to them (in a subtle manner) that it would be a matter of prestige and publicity (for them) to have a proper bio of themselves on the site. I think a great many people would respond with all the information you could possibly need - after all, just how much effort does it take to mail a resume - most people have such things handy.
Best of all, people's resumes are usually carefully categorized, making setting up the resulting articles on ICANNwiki relatively easy.
If copyright issues are a concern, you can include a little legal form for them to sign that gives you the right to put the material they supply you with on the site.
Now this is just a tentative idea. It seems to me that there's a considerable motive here for people to want to be featured on ICANNwiki.com, and perhaps we could just use this to build up the site, instead of hiring mercenaries (albeit reasonably clever ones) like myself :)
Actually, I take a great interest in ICANNwiki, hence this suggestion. If, as I more than suspect, you've already tried this, then my apologies. I just thought I'd put it to you, there's no harm in discussing ideas.
Thanks for hearing me out.
Take care and have a great day,
- Alex
