<TITLE>MoscowWiki has Moscow Farmers' Market Music Schedule</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<FONT FACE="Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:12.0px'>Deena Heath sent the MFM music schedule and its now on a page made for MFM here: <a href="http://moscowwiki.editme.com/MoscowFarmersMarket">http://moscowwiki.editme.com/MoscowFarmersMarket</a><BR>
<BR>
What worked about this? What didn’t work, or was sub-optimal?<BR>
<BR>
<B>What worked<BR>
</B>1) The information got posted, and posted before the MFM’s own site had the data, check here: <a href="http://www.ci.moscow.id.us/mac/fmschedule.asp">http://www.ci.moscow.id.us/mac/fmschedule.asp</a> on their web site. This is not bragging, its an observation that by disintermediating the webmaster, the work does not get caught in a bottle neck.<BR>
<BR>
What else could work? <BR>
2) Let’s say Tom Armstrong wants a web site, <B><I>he </I></B>could turn his listing in MoscowWiki into a link to a page he would create in MoscowWiki. <BR>
3) Or at the last moment, Joan Alexaner invites a friend to join her show. Joan could update the wiki to reflect this guest, without going through Deena or MFM’s web master<BR>
<BR>
4) If these things were working, MFM could decide to eliminate the fmschedule.asp page from their site and link (with suitable instructions) to the MoscowWiki page.<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
<B>What didn’t work</B> <BR>
Deena didn’t do the update of the MoscowWiki page herself, I did. (No complaint, but what happened is I became her new webmaster, which does not solve #1 above.)<BR>
<BR>
This data is a copy of the data that I anticipate will appear on the MFM site, so if there is an update, it risks the copies getting out of sync. Perhaps MoscowWiki is not the place to host this data — that is fine — there probably should be one place, with others pointing to the one source (such as Moscow Food Coop does) .<BR>
<BR>
If we can figure out how to get RSS feeds from FirstStep calendar to appear in MoscowWiki, then their database might hold the only copy of the MFM music schedule and a filtered view of the calendar would appear in various websites.<BR>
<BR>
Perhaps we’ll see you in MoscowWiki soon? <BR>
Or perhaps at the next Wiki Raising party in 2 weeks.</SPAN></FONT>
