we also told you about wiki.
think about it.
If you want an indymedia.ie entry then put it in yourself. You're on indymedia, you should know the score here.
A stub has been created, and your stuff in.
It's worth finding out both:
1. The editorial process for the information (ie is it democratic, transparent and accountable).
2. The status of any intellectual property developed therein.
Otherwise you could end up effectively doing unpaid work for some nasty little entrepeneurs.
paranoid badman?
I read the site a bit last year but haven't recently
I don't know who set it up, but...

Be assured: Unlike other websites that hemorrhage money, Politics.ie has always gotten a fantastic bang for the buck. You’ll find no frilly offices, no massive expense accounts, no designer couches, no latte machines, and no staff masseurs. We spend everything we have on getting irish politics to you. And we want to do more of that — with your help.

but will this wiki suffer the same fate as most it depends who writes it to whether it factual or not
Dismissing Badman's completely reasonable suggestion that you end up not being unpaid labor (like the early contributors to IMDB.com) who then see their work sold by someone else is hardly paranoia.
Add to that that you provide a link to the inappropriate part of the site and then follow it up with a non sequitur about how the site is good and I wonder some very negative things.

RESPONSE: Do what Badman says, and don't start casting accusations of "paranoia" around unless you have good evidence to support it.
alright relax i was just kidding...
its probably the same for most forums,and other sites that start small then become money making and then are sold on...
although the question is a good one, is this guy ever go to sell the site on to someone else... and will those who spent time populating the wiki mind someone else profiting from their efforts...
does that involve any type of eviction order, for the other minds that joined the wiki hive, or do they become "serfs" perhaps, or resentful or just laugh all the way to see such fun?
like what happens to machine code? where does it go? is there a big box in CERN where the missing code goes? how can you delete a zero? does "i" (the square root of minus 1) exist in code? tell me. explain it to me. purleeeze.
