| * Issue 2: Follow-up on SoylentNews Policy Document - Updates:
| |
| At the [http://wiki.soylentnews.org/wiki/Board_of_Directors_Meeting_-_September_3_2014| September 3, 2014 Board Meeting], there was discussion about site Privacy, Copyright, and DMCA policies.
| |
| | |
| A section has been added to the Wiki for these and two other items ("Disclaimers" and "Terms of Use" — many thanks to Crutchy for offering suggested text). [http://wiki.soylentnews.org/wiki/SoylentNews_Policy_Document#Privacy.2C_Copyright.2C_Disclaimers.2C_Terms_of_Use.2C_and_DMCA Privacy, Copyright, Disclaimers, Terms of Use, and DMCA].
| |
| | |
| Suggest these be reviewed and agreed upon prior to applying to our site(s). (SoylentNews.org, dev.Soylentnews.org, etc., IRC, Wiki, TWiki, other?)

| |
| ** Issue 2e: [http://wiki.soylentnews.org/wiki/SoylentNews_Policy_Document#DMCA_Notice DMCA Notice]
| |
| | |
| * Issue 3: We should buy quickbooks for accounting (and abandon GNU cash as this was always meant to be an interim measure)
| |
| | |
| * Issue 4: How much copyright content may be legally reproduced in a story summary? Some summaries contain copypasta of copyright material from commercial news sites. Do we need a scripty to scan and flag any summary, comment, journal or wiki article that reproduces more than a certain percentage of linked content? Something like MIN(10%,100 words) seems pretty safe. There could be a whitelist of sites (such as Wikipedia) that could be excluded from scanning. This is possibly not a board-level issue but I'm not sure exactly who/where to direct due to fairly broad scope.
| |
| | |
| * Issue 5: We need a Service Provider Designation of Agent to Receive Notification of Claims of Infringement in order to shelter us from legal action in the event of a DMCA notice (see: [[http://copyright.gov/onlinesp/]] and [[http://www.newmediarights.org/guide/copyright/how_register_dmca_agent]])
