:Good call. The person who compiled the interview questions (apparently they were spread across several topics) PM'd me the link to the compilation on the user boards. That's RaymondShaw. Would we need to get permission (persimmons?) from each of the interviewers (plus RDM), or just Scifi (since it's their message board), or just Raymondshaw (since it was his compilation)? The "used with permission" was automatically tagged on as part of the "interview" template, but we should make sure we're in the clear to host this. Otherwise, I guess we could just post a link to it. --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 11:16, 9 March 2007 (CST) | :Good call.

::I don't think that just the act of compilation is copyrightable, and I don't think that SciFi claims copyright to content posted to their forums. We would, however probably need permission from each questioner and RDM. | ::I don't think that just the act of compilation is copyrightable, and I don't think that SciFi claims copyright to content posted to their forums.

::Beyond that, I must question why archiving the conversation here is even necessary. Can't we just use permlinks to the SciFi forums when we need to cite information revealed by RDM here? --[[User: | ::Beyond that, I must question why archiving the conversation here is even necessary.

:::I'd have to agree. Other than allowing it to be searched (which, who searches the "Sources" namespace anyway), I don't know that it's absolutely necessary. The biggest gain of hosting here would be that the formatting on the original is pretty ugly, and we've got the potential to greatly clean it up here. That being said, the hassle of contact ~20 people (plus RDM) probably is not a battle worth fighting. If nobody has any objections soon I'll toast it here before too long. --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 11:25, 9 March 2007 (CST) | :::I'd have to agree.
