! Technical License Details
The license for content in the WlugWiki is the CreativeCommons Wiki License with Attribution and Share Alike clauses. This means that content on the wiki is able to be copied / modified / improved, either on the site or independently of the site provided that where the content is used it is attributed to the WlugWiki and the resulting content is made available under the same license as the Wiki itself.
The WlugWiki also supports the NzlugWiki as they are both run from the same backend and are exactly the same content, this means that the NzlugWiki license is identical to the WlugWiki license except the attribution may be made to the NzlugWiki rather than the WlugWiki if desired.

The procedure for relicensing existing content to the CreativeCommons license will be as follows
# All authors (the Username you logged in to make edits as) should create a HomePage and add code to it indicating their acceptance of the WlugWikiLicense. This denotes that you agree that all past content you have added / editing in the wiki and all future content you add / edit in the wiki may be licensed under the CreativeCommons Wiki License.
** See ExampleHomePage for details of the code to add to your HomePage to agree to the license.
-** Additions of this sort to [HomePage]'
s will be closely monitored by the [WikiGnome]'
s to ensure (as much as is possible) that only the legitimate author can add this to their page.
-# A WikiPlugin will automatically extract this information from all [HomePage]'
s to construct a list of authors who have allowed their content to be placed under the CreativeCommons Wiki License.
+** Additions of this sort to [HomePage]s will be closely monitored by the [WikiGnome]s to ensure (as much as is possible) that only the legitimate author can add this to their page.
+# A WikiPlugin will automatically extract this information from all [HomePage]s to construct a list of authors who have allowed their content to be placed under the CreativeCommons Wiki License.
# A WikiPlugin will analyse the content of each page and the diffs in which that content was added to determine if all authors of the current version have agreed to the CreativeCommons Wiki License and will display the appropriate license information at the bottom of the page to indicate to viewers the license state of the page.
** For this process only ''substantial'' additions / edits to a page will be considered when determining the licensing status. In the first instance the minor change flag of the diff will be examined, if it is true, the licensing status of that diff will be ignored. If it is not true then the size of the diff is examined, if it is less than ten lines then the licensing status of that diff will also be ignored.
** The outcome of this process is that online diffs which were not marked as minor changes and added or editing more than 10 lines of content will be considered in determining the license status of a page.
# The committee will actively seek to contact authors and get their acceptance of the new license to progressively bring more and more of the wiki under the new license.
