==OrthodoxWiki in Russian and Drevo==
Father John, hello! In Russian, we have russian huge orthodox wiki called [http://drevo.pravbeseda.org drevo]. What do you think about posting an article by me, both to the drevo and here (orthodoxwiki)? Which licence must I use? [[User:Зануда|Зануда]] 04:05, November 24, 2007 (PST)
:Hello Зануда!, This would be wonderful. I think, when we were launching [http://ru.orthodoxwiki.org ru.orthodoxwiki.org], I looked for other Russian-language wikis and found two or three, but was not able to figure out what licenses they were using. (Not reading Russian did not help!) I suppose that copyright law is not as developed (at least in the public consciousness) in Russia? It seems that our own Russian wiki is not doing very well -- it does not have much support or content. I would be very happy to join efforts with a wiki project in Russian, provided that our licenses were compatible.
:OrthodoxWiki licenses content by default under a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license (see http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/us/ -- unfortunately they haven't made this available in Russian yet, but there is a description of the "porting" process at http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Worldwide_Overview) as well as a [http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html GNU Free Doc License] (just like Wikipedia). We allow use under either license for maximum flexibility and compatibility.
:All that said, you would be very welcome to post an article both here, under our default license, and there, under whatever license you choose. As the creator of the content, you may choose to license it in various ways. Thank you for your interest in OrthodoxWiki! — [[User:FrJohn|<b>FrJohn</b>]] ([http://www.orthodoxwiki.org/User_talk:FrJohn&action=edit§ion=new talk]) 10:53, November 24, 2007 (PST)
