I tried an experiment this week of just taking someone's post (Conor's idiom brackets), and putting directly on the wiki first, then letting the author know that's happened.
Seemed entirely reasonable to me. If I have a spare moment, I might even finally get around to registering so I can add the other thing I usually bundle (for inserting effectful computations which don't contribute an argument to the main function).
If I'm writing for a mailing list, I'm certainly willing (if surprised) to be exploited in this way.
If there is any legalistic need for explicit permission, then we should have a permanent permission system on an opt-in basis, perhaps recorded in some suitable central and accessible place (like, erm, ...). I'm in.
I've created a page to track contributors who are happy to have their work moved to the Haskell wiki, and thus explicitly licensed under the `simple permissive license'.

Just add your names, so your code and text can escape the haskell-cafe copyright monad :)
After some discussion, it was decided to expand the scope of the permission slightly while we're here, to include any media covered by haskell.org: * mailing lists * old wiki * hpaste.org * irc channel Since specifically on hpaste.org there's often good solutions that don't appear elsewhere. If you've already added your name, perhaps check that you agree to your original contributions to any haskell.org media being treated under the `simple permissive license'. -- Don
