de.wikipedia.org authors to be funded by German government — Wikipedia Adventures responds

After a long, soul-searching hiatus, Wikipedia Adventures is back!

In this show, we talk about the German government’s decision to fund the development and maintainence of german-language Wikipedia articles. We take a few, err, tangents along the way, and what we end up with is a very special show, suitable for our very close friends and both of our fans (hi Scott and Willis).

Frederick Wiseman

For this episode we talked about the Frederick Wiseman article. Wiseman has played a very significant yet under-appreciated role in the history of documentary film. John dabbles in documentary film and had recently done some research on Wiseman. We discuss Wiseman’s style and philosophy, and his place in documentary film.

Trinity

Shield of the Trinity

For this episode we contribute to the ages-old debate and discussion about the Trinity. Zane finds the topic to be fascinating, and John questions the value of the model; whacky hijinks ensue.
