Berners-Lee: de documentaire werd bij een speciale gelegenheid vertoond en uit de Q&A met Herzog na afloop bleek dat hij, TBL, niet beschikbaar was gedurende de draaiperiode.
Andere onderwerpen haalden het ook niet:
Inside the Mind of Werner Herzog, Luddite Master of the Internet
There are many hours of unused footage, covering everything from bitcoin to cognitive computing. In fact, they hope to use some of that material as the foundation of a new documentary television series, which they have begun shopping around to the likes of Amazon and Netflix.
Verbrassen, zo te zien zou dat neerkomen op maximaal € 0,05 per persoon, Wikimania 2016:
Ziet er verder toch gedisciplineerd uit? Alleen vraag je je af wat al die mensen met lichtgevende hesjes voor rol spelen in het geheel, paramedici? Wikipedia beheren is dermate zwaar dat men erbij kan neervallen.
Maar bedankt voor je gift - daar vaak genoeg wat opgezocht om vervolgens hier weer naar te verwijzen:
Air gap (networking), Ancilla van de Leest, Arecibo message, Basisregistratie, Betuweroute, Bitcoin, Block chain (transaction database) …
En bijvoorbeeld toen jij eind vorig jaar over haar viel en duidelijk werd dat een ‘wikipediaan’ het inderdaad wel eens laat kan maken, Kerstnacht ook:
Archief-technisch wel vreemd dat destijds door ons geregistreerde regels uit dat logboek meeschuiven met de overgang naar zomertijd? Klik op de link en je zal zien dat alle ‘edits’ opeens die van een uur later zijn.
Of er wel meer aan die interneten cyclopedie rammelt, de bijbehorende bobo’s zijn ongelijk verdeeld want voornamelijk niet uit Afrika, Zuid-Amerika of Rusland afkomstig en het zijn alleen mannen:
The 36 People Who Run Wikipedia
Wikipedia is the sixth most popular website in the world, with 22.5 million contributors and 736 million edits in English alone. But at the very top of this tree are 36 users who demonstrate Wikimedia in its most concentrated form: the stewards.
Although there are some notable holes — Wikipedia in general lacks African participation and is in the process of growing in East Asia — the spread is impressive nonetheless. The same can’t be said about gender: only one steward is female. This gap isn’t unique — it’s representative of the male-dominated culture of Wikimedia, where both contributors and content are skewed male.
Nog een keer terug naar de documentaire “Lo and Behold”:
There’s a playful project called the Wikipedia Emergency Project that if there’s ever going to be possibly a world changing event, a big volcanic eruption, Wikipedia volunteers are supposed to start printing out Wikipedia pages madly and storing the paper in places that their heirs could find it later.
Waar of niet waar:
Wikipedia - Committal of articles to non-electronic media
Following the implementation of the level 2 warning, editors are expected to commence the transfer of the encyclopedia to other media. As an immediate measure, it is suggested that editors print as many articles as possible, with due regard to any personal safety concerns that may be faced in these extraordinary events.
In order to assist subsequent collation initiatives, it is recommended that editors utilize paper sizes most commonly used in their localities – Letter in the United States, Canada and Mexico or A4 in most other jurisdictions.
Attention should be paid to the manner of storage of articles once printed. Over the medium-term, copies of articles can be stored in suitable air-tight containers in a temperature controlled environment.
Hunebed, piramide, cryogeenvat, en nu Tupperware …
Wikipedia - What to save, usage and attribution
Editors should give prior thought to which articles they save. It would not be feasible for the average editor to save more than a small fraction, perhaps a few thousand at best, of the over five million articles currently on Wikipedia.
It may be the case that these archives may be the prime resource material for a reconstruction effort, so choose wisely.
Archivists should consider the use of the random page link to find articles that may be overlooked. If each of the over thirty million Wikipedia editors saved around 2,000 articles, which would be a conservative estimate, every article on Wikipedia would be archived in multiple locations.
