How do people feel about allowing posts in -cafe to be placed on the wiki, without extensive prior negotiation? What copyright do -cafe@ posts have?
Currently, snagging the whole post for non-archive purposes isn't necessarily legit.
If there was a rough consensus that this is ok, we could probably get a lot more material directly on the wiki, since I for one would act first, putting some interesting Clause Reinke posts there semi-verbatim, rather than pondering whether to write an email to the author to seek permission, or cojole them into doing it.
General "is it okay if I put your interesting stuff up?" permission works. So does linking to existing archives. -- flippa@flippac.org There is no magic bullet. There are, however, plenty of bullets that magically home in on feet when not used in exactly the right circumstances.
