Burro: Breakthrough? A new hosted MediaWiki, Miraheze.org, Seeking to install MediaWiki for World University and School, If MITx could have been the mine-shaft for the motherlode or gold mine of CC MIT OpenCourseWare, will Miraheze's MediaWiki be the burro - for World University and School? (But see "Atanga - African pear: WUaS developing a first year undergraduate course of study in all 3 of WUaS's pilot languages of English, Spanish and Chinese ... " re licensing questions ... ), Onward with developing WUaS newly in MediaWiki and potentially with a new URL such as ... wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org ...


Hi, Amanda, Srishti, Gabriel, Petr, Lydia and All,

Thanks for this thread and your questions and responses.

I'm seeking to install MediaWiki for World University and School (which WUaS donated to Wikidata in October 2015 per Lydia Pintscher) as well, and began to do so last week, with guidance from Wikimedians.

I received these steps as part of this guidance -

"
1. Get Homebrew from https://brew.sh
2. brew install minikube docker-machine-driver-xhyve kubernetes-cli
3. brew install docker-machine-driver-xhyve
4. minikube start --vm-driver=xhyve --show-libmachine-logs --v=10 --alsologtostderr
"
https://gist.github.com/Pchelolo/333e482559f7025eb253a2643ddb56d3

But I don't know how to do step 4. And this also may also be contingent on the following.

I was planning on hosting this at worlduniversityandschool.org (WUaS), but this wiki WUaS project seeks to be in each of all 358 languages in Wikipedia, as wiki schools for open teaching and learning, so I wonder if this is sensible. CC WUaS which is CC MIT OpenCourseWare-centric (in its 7 languages) and CC Yale OYC-centric is also planning to create major online CC OCW universities in each of all ~200 countries' official languages to offer free online CC OCW university and high school degrees (Bach, Ph.D., law, M.D. and I.B high school), so I also wonder how sensible it is to host MediaWiki at worlduniversityandschool.org with this in mind. I'd welcome your thinking about this, Srishti and MediaWikans.  (WUaS seeks to be advertising free, and is also probably seeking a free host).

So, it seems that only Miraheze - https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Miraheze - from these MediaWiki hosting services - https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Hosting_services - would possibly be a good fit, since it's free, is advertising free, allows for one's own domain, and allows visual editor use upon request.

https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Help_center

https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:RequestWiki

https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Custom_domains


Per your suggestion (and another friend's at the WMF), I'll also join the #mediawiki IRC channel on Freenode.

So how would I begin developing WUaS in MediaWiki further with Minikube? And would you recommend using WUaS's domain, or Miraheze or another host?

Thank you!

Cheers,
Scott

If MITx could have been the mine-shaft for the motherlode or gold mine of CC MIT OpenCourseWare, will Miraheze's MediaWiki be the burro - for World University and School? (But see "Atanga - African pear: WUaS developing a first year undergraduate course of study in all 3 of WUaS's pilot languages of English, Spanish and Chinese ... " re licensing questions ... )

Atanga - African pear: WUaS developing a first year undergraduate course of study in all 3 of WUaS's pilot languages of English, Spanish and Chinese - say of 10 courses in each language, but no CC MIT OCW-into-MITx mineshaft this year ... :), Geology of gold deposits: If CC MIT OCW is the gold mine or motherlode ...

Thank-you for this article, Scott.  I enjoy hearing Angela and victor express their ideas {... http://wildyogi.info/en/issue/maxim-yasochka-olga-sydorenko-yoga-inner-wisdom-angela-farmer-viktor-van-kooten ...}.  I do agree with most of them.  I would love to see them again.  May be Harbin in 2018.

Garden and goats keeping me very busy—very satisfying work.  It’s like, before enlightenment carry wood and heal water, after enlightenment carry wood and haul water.

Thanks, Lyn, for your email. Suzuki method, I'd think too ... ! :) ...

{Thought "Before enlightenment, chop wood, carry water ..."  might come from Shunryū Suzuki's "Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind" ~ http://www.arvindguptatoys.com/arvindgupta/zenmind.pdf  or have been translated by D.T. Suzuki ... but not sure where it comes from, but check it out here ... https://lifehacker.com/four-confusing-zen-quotes-and-what-you-can-learn-from-1676177538 ... }

Re the Suzuki method for learning a musical instrument, such as the violin or the piano, here, too, are

Guidelines for practicing a musical instrument
... from Winton Marsalis and Yo-yo Ma ~
http://scottmacleod.com/GuidelinesPracticingMusicalInstrument.htm

And riffing on the above, here are ...
Guidelines for practicing loving bliss vis-à-vis practicing a musical instrument
http://scottmacleod.com/GuidelinesPracticingLovingBlissvavMusicalInstrument.htm ...

And, further, here are ...
Loving bliss and practices to elicit this
http://scottmacleod.com/LovingBlissPractices.htm ...

And, here, too ~ BEST LOVE  ~  realizations of LOVE in some of its best senses ~
http://scottmacleod.com/daltonletter.htm#BestLove


Is eliciting loving bliss neurophysiology - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/loving%20bliss - a form of enlightenment? What's the method for eliciting this enlightenment (excluding X:) besides practicing contentment (a yoga idea too) ... and even re chopping water, practicing walls, carrying asana, and building stone woods ... :)

There's a letter from Victor to me re his art 3 postings' ago ..

I hope the wiki Yoga source here - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Yoga - will gather many interesting Angela and Victor sources with time ...

And Angela and Victor have a kind of un-Yoga un-learning style ... an unique way ... quite well thought out ...

Wild parrots of many colors: WUaS has CEO and CFO searches underway, information technologies with multiple languages and in multiple nation states/countries that WUaS would like to grow with Wikidata / Wikipedia / Wikimedia, Google Education / Classroom / Ecosystem, Intuit QBs / Multi-store / TurboTax, MIT OCW, Yale OYC, WUaS ~ http://worlduniversityandschool.org ... WUaS Corp ~ http://worlduniversityandschool.org/AcademicPress.html ...



World University and School (WUaS) has CEO and CFO searches underway for the WUaS Corporation.

*

As an example, WUaS Corporation is seeking perhaps an experienced Swiss CEO in online bookstore retailing with IT/AI experience, and with experience in thinking in terms of their 4 languages ... with information technology (in Google Sites if this works in China and all countries, plus Wikidata/Wikisource would be my choice) and artificial intelligence teams in WUaS's 4 pilot languages - English, Mandarin, Spanish and German - so, both a CEO and CFO here, actually ...

This would be a step in the right direction, since I'd like WUaS to develop with 3-4 pilot languages ...

Zebra mussels: Seeking clarity, Non-theist Friends, An inner releasing meditation (first thing upon rising)


"[NTF-talk] Seeking clarity" email thread ... 

Dear non-theist Friends/Quakers:

I have been mulling over the phrase " don't outrun your Inner Guide" and would like to hear from Friends about how they interpret this Quaker expression?

Thanks,
claire

*
Non-theist Friends:

I sit daily - an inner releasing meditation (first thing upon rising) - and have NtFs / Quaker Meeting in the back of my mind when I do as well. It's also a kind of biological relaxation response which I think has occurred de facto in Quaker Meeting for Friends over centuries (as I've written about before here) - and may happen for some NtFs without the divine, but with the "inner guide" for others. So daily sitting in meditation (half lotus and then bending forward into Yoga mudrasana ... but which sitting could be done sitting in a chair) for me is a way to not "outrun one's Inner Guide" ... as a kind of daily exploration.

Thanks,
Scott


*

Nice response.

Anita
+++++++


*

Thanks, Anita, and All,

I'm curious too about sitting as NtF biological meditation (relaxation response - inner bodymind releasing action) here ... and an "ecology of action / attention" and troopbondage (see, John Money, here for example - http://scottmacleod.com/anthropology/determinism.htm) ... re corporate sitting ... for example, for a few centuries in unprogrammed Quaker Meetings {and re "Seeking clarity" via this} ... Does my sitting or does a group's sitting, and then acting / writing / communicating / caring from this releasing have an effect indirectly, for example, on Canyon, California, where I live? ... or re the Palo Alto Friends' Meeting or SF Friends' Meeting ? ... Just f/Friendly querying here re this NtF sitting first thing upon rising ... and related inner easing attuning, clarity-seeking wise ...

Scott
