Ubuntu (philosophy) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

by tadeufilippini (via)
Ubuntu (philosophy) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search For other uses, see Ubuntu (disambiguation). Experience ubuntu.ogg Play video Nelson Mandela explains the concept of Ubuntu Ubuntu is an ethic or humanist philosophy focusing on people's allegiances and relations with each other. The word has its origin in the Bantu languages of Southern Africa. Ubuntu is seen as a classical African concept. (Dion Forster 2006a:252)[1] PULANDO UM TRECHO ..TEMOS : Meaning An attempt at a longer definition has been made by Archbishop Desmond Tutu (1999): “ A person with Ubuntu is open and available to others, affirming of others, does not feel threatened that others are able and good, for he or she has a proper self-assurance that comes from knowing that he or she belongs in a greater whole and is diminished when others are humiliated or diminished, when others are tortured or oppressed. ” Archbishop Desmond Tutu further explained Ubuntu as follows (2008): “ One of the sayings in our country is Ubuntu - the essence of being human. Ubuntu speaks particularly about the fact that you can't exist as a human being in isolation. It speaks about our interconnectedness. You can't be human all by yourself, and when you have this quality - Ubuntu - you are known for your generosity. We think of ourselves far too frequently as just individuals, separated from one another, whereas you are connected and what you do affects the whole world. When you do well, it spreads out; it is for the whole of humanity. ”

Facebook | Articles de Dominique Cardon

by Neewok

En séparant les sanctions locales contre les contenus et les sanctions centrales contre les personnes, Wikipédia a inscrit dans son architecture même une tension interne qui oblige constamment les participants à débarrasser la discussion de l’évaluation des personnes, de leurs compétences et de leurs intentions.

Who Writes Wikipedia? (Aaron Swartz's Raw Thought)

by Spone & 1 other
So did the Gang of 500 actually write Wikipedia? Wales decided to run a simple study to find out: he counted who made the most edits to the site. “I expected to find something like an 80-20 rule: 80% of the work being done by 20% of the users, just because that seems to come up a lot. But it’s actually much, much tighter than that: it turns out over 50% of all the edits are done by just .7% of the users … 524 people. … And in fact the most active 2%, which is 1400 people, have done 73.4% of all the edits.” The remaining 25% of edits, he said, were from “people who [are] contributing … a minor change of a fact or a minor spelling fix … or something like that.”

globeandmail.com: Locks won't solve the Wikipedia Problem

by karlcow

A bit of mental discipline from the rest of us might help take the pressure off the site, and relieve Jimbo Wales's troubled conscience. In your mind, change the name from Wikipedia to “Things Some People Were Saying.” Every time you find yourself about to quote Wikipedia in conversation, don't say, “I read on Wikipedia that Twinkies are full of vitamin D.” Instead, say, “Some people were saying that Twinkies are full of vitamin D.” If, by chance, you were thinking of using this information for an essay you're writing, be sure to insert a citation for “Some People (2009).”

by karlcow

I just happened across a hyperlink to apple.com/hypercard that redirects to wikipedia.org/wiki/HyperCard. Yes, I confirmed that the source of the page contains both meta & JavaScript redirects to said Wikipedia page, so it’s for real.
