Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/GnuFU

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This appears to be the complete user guide for Gnutella. It would make more sense to just have a link from the Gnutella page, otherwise the content will need to be updated in two places (Wikipedia and external). --LeeHunter 18:09, 9 Aug 2004 (UTC)

  • Wouldn't this be a copyright violation? RickK 18:32, Aug 9, 2004 (UTC)
    • Not necessarily. I suspect that since it's open source software that the documentation is not copyright. But it still seems pointless to add it to Wikipedia. --LeeHunter 19:16, 9 Aug 2004 (UTC)
      • Then move to Wikisource. RickK 21:44, Aug 9, 2004 (UTC)
  • Transwiki to Wikisource or Wikibooks. About copyright issues: the original text was released under the GNU FDL (or so the article claims). About the redundancy issue: the original wiki where the article originated seems to be dead. Also, a number of Wikipedians have clarified sections here and there. I think Wikisource or Wikibooks would be a good place for this document. • Benc • 21:49, 9 Aug 2004 (UTC)
    • Transwikification completed and link updated at Gnutella. Still needs clean-up at Wikisource:GnuFU; I merely copied and pasted. Delete from here. --Ardonik 21:51, Aug 11, 2004 (UTC)
      • Is an interwiki redirect from GnuFU to Wikisource:GnuFU okay, or even recommended? It would help if GnuFU were still under Category:File sharing in spite of its new home on another MediaWiki project (people will have an easier time finding the article after searching for Limewire and what-not.) --Ardonik 21:56, Aug 11, 2004 (UTC)
      • The more I think of it, the more I feel that this should have gone to Wikibooks. --Ardonik 21:58, Aug 11, 2004 (UTC)
      • Does it make sense to update the links pointing to things like 'hash function', 'tree' etc to point to Wikipedia? Or is that something that's generally not done for whatever reason? --Underscore 21:27, 12 Aug 2004 (UTC)
