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. I don't at all mean to be interfering in any way. 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.

==Some Interesting Ideas, continued==

Hi Ray, thanks for hearing me out, and for your interest. Actually, I didn't think that many people would edit their own pages at this stage of the site's development, but only that they might provide information about themselves more efficiently (and reliably) than it can be obtained from sources on the net, which information would have to be input into the site by ICANNwiki's own writers. The same applies to companies or any other entity that ICANNwiki chooses to cover. An alternate approach might be to give selected writers the power to contact people directly in ICANNwiki's name, asking for information, resumes, etc. They could be given a standard writeup or message format to use to standardize this approach. Anyway, just rough concepts. Now I'd better get back to work! :)

Was just doing work on the articles and an Idea clicked.. so I thought that I should share it.. before I forget it :D.. Em Not sure if you are already working on it or have it in mind..

I think.. there should be a page for the members and the chairs of the big groups that matter to ICANN like the IAB... a page that lists all the members in a chronological order...

== This is frustrating ==

Aren't we supposed to replace profile with a link, once we have created one here? It happens very frequently that when I find some good content about someone, there is already a profile here on icannwiki.com... Would you please ask others to replace the older profile with the new link? Thanks [[User:Tehreem|Tehreem]]

== List of Companies ==

Hi Ray,

I just want to inform you that some of the companies assigned to me seem no longer exist.

# Esoftwiz, de-accredited by ICANN

# finestnames.com- the domain is for sale...should i still create a page for this?

# Geosign Corporation- went out of business

# Interactive Communications Florida based company website does not exist

# IBM- I already wrote the company profile from the first batch

# ICA and Melbourne IT- pages have been already created by other writers

Another thing, JotSpot has been acquired by Google and they launched it as Google Sites.

Thanks [[User:Marie Cabural|Marie]]

==Upload Problems==

Hi Ray,

I've been experiencing technical problems uploading photo. Whenever I upload a company logo I received warning which reads, The upload directory (public) is not writable by the web server. I don't know what to do. Please help me. Thanks! [[User:Marie Cabural|Marie]]

==Gracias==

Ima people person trying my best to survive in a disparate digitized disconnected world. :-)

It's my baby... slowly but surely it will be brought up to the present. I'm at about 2004 now. Researching some & packing some... [[User:Andrew|Andrew]]

Oh hello! [[User:Vivian|Vivian]]

== Category ==

I did some rigorous clearing up of the category system.

See [[:Category:Browse]]

Personally I would put companies under organisations. But You seem to use that term rather like NGOs.

So I left them side by side and shifted both under Structure.
