Ha! That is a really funny question. I am practically Brede Wiki. I am
sorry that is not clear from the Brede Wiki description. :-)

You are indeed welcome to add summaries to AcaWiki.

The only issue would be that the Brede Wiki is distributed with
share-alike while Acawiki is not-necessarily share-alike. As practically
all summaries are written by me I can easily put it under CC-by.

That would be great for clarity -- otherwise we have to keep documentation of individual permissions! 
 
Maybe I
should change the default license?

CC-BY is less restrictive. Unless you are opposed to potential commercialization of your work, CC-BY is better than CC-BY-SA, in the sense that it makes reuse easier. CC-BY is, of course, worse if you prefer copyleft licenses! :)
 
Have you given any thought as to why
you selected CC-by and not CC-by-sa?

The license was already chosen when I got involved.  Neeru, Mike, Greg, any comments?

I suppose CC-by is practically the
standard among researchers, while CC-by-sa stems from Wikimedia
Foundation inspired projects.

CC-BY-SA is pretty recent in Wikimedia:
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Licensing_update
 

Note that I can extract all the structured data to a database (not the
body text though) which will/should make it much easier for you to
include the data in your wiki.

Thanks, that would be great! A list, or category page, of the summaries would be helpful, too.
We'll want to figure out how to track summaries, and changes to summaries, going forward, as well.

:) -Jodi
 


All the best
Finn
