* About metanohi
|
|
|
|
|
|
2011-08-01 22:39:41 +02:00
|
|
|
This is metanohi.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Currently, metanohi resides on *metanohi.name*. Originally, it was on
|
|
|
|
|
*metanohi.org* which now redirects requests to .name. To contact [[./niels][Niels]] (the
|
|
|
|
|
creator), you should still use [[mailto:ns@metanohi.org][ns@metanohi.org]] instead of ns@metanohi.name&del.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
metanohi is XHTML 1.1 and CSS 2 valid (probably).

|

** Copying
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In general, text, images, and other media on metanohi is licensed under the
|
|
|
|
|
[[http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/][Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0]] license, a *copyleft*
|
|
|
|
|
license. There may be cases with other licenses. The status of a page can be
|
|
|
|
|
seen in the bottom in a metadata box. If no license is specified in the box,
|
|
|
|
|
it's either because someone forgot to apply one to the page, or it's because
|
|
|
|
|
the page has almost no content (like the "Page not found" page) and does not
|
|
|
|
|
really require a license.

|
Most of metanohi's content can be defined as free content, as defined by
|
|
|
|
|
[[http://freedomdefined.org/][freedomdefined.org]].
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In all cases, you are free to redistribute content from metanohi, but please
|
|
|
|
|
don't set up a mirror for no reason (who would do that, anyway?).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
External content is sometimes a different matter. [[./media-licenses][A list of licenses for media]]
|
|
|
|
|
is used for attributing in cases where it is impractical to attribute in-page.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you take something from metanohi that is not under a public-domain-like
|
|
|
|
|
license, you are required to attribute Niels Serup and metanohi. When doing
|
|
|
|
|
that, write something like "Niels Serup, [[http://metanohi.name/][metanohi.name]]".

** History
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
#+caption: This alien wonders why 'metanohi' was picked.

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
metanohi was created in 2009 as a spinoff of earlier projects with equally
|
|
|
|
|
undefined purposes.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
*** "Why the name?"
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There are several reasons:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
+ It's unique
|
|
|
|
|
+ It's simple
|
|
|
|
|
+ It has the meta prefix, which automatically transforms anything into
|
|
|
|
|
something cool
|
|
|
|
|
+ 'metanohi', or at least part of 'metanohi', has meanings in some languages
|
