::The advantage of using Centiare's directory space over running your own wiki or using another hosted wiki is that we have all sorts of cool extensions (just gotta get <nowiki><math></nowiki> going) & facilities running that Google really seems to love. As stated above, the whole point is to get top search rankings via legitimate means. [[User:Snerfling|Snerfling]] 10:41, 17 May 2007 (PDT)

JA: Ok, a few questions:

# I am guessing that "legal entity" includes "intellectual property"?
# I am guessing that "legal entity" includes "intellectual property"?
:Yeah, any IP can be placed within sub-pages under either your directory and/or user pages. See the [[Centiare:Listing#Secondary_.28Property.29_Listings|policy]] & [[Directory:The Walt Disney Company/Mickey Mouse|Disney/MM]] for example.
# For consideration under ERB, what about papers not previously published in hard print, but posted on the web, under GFDL or SA something-or-other?

:We can be flexible; the key is author attribution.
# What about dual entry, one copy in main, and another protected?
# What about dual entry, one copy in main, and another protected?
:Dual entry is fine - just be aware that non-ERB main space articles are treated no differently than at WP. That's why some posters include summaries under the main space and use [[Centiare:aficionados|aficionados]] to point to a more complete version under a directory listing.
:The key is to understand that with Centiare's semantic tags & other extensions/facilities, it's not necessary to have info posted in the main space like WP. Google scarfs up the sem tag references wherever they're located.

As mentioned earlier, you can run all sorts of scripts, gadgets, widgets, etc. within your directory listing(s). That means you can import [[Centiare:Extensions/RSS|Extensions/RSS]] feed(s) by subject, run snapshots of email lists, blogs, etc. It's really quite endless - the MediaWiki platform is very powerful. There's a heck of lot more you can do with it than is being utilized at WP. [[User:Snerfling|Snerfling]] 10:49, 17 May 2007 (PDT)
