user-posted content and dedication to the public domain: gentle review of a Diigo Agreement and standard site footer - 48 views

  How do we (Diigo Community and Diigo Team together) view the following highlights and notes?
  
  http://groups.diigo.com/Diigo_HQ/bookmark/tag/CC
  
  1) Diigo.com Terms of Use Agreement is dated May 2006. Considering the many improvements since that time (including but not limited to private groups), all of which are valued: a review of the Agreement may be timely.
  
  2) Considering the intended private nature of some content (within and without Diigo groups): a review of line 2 of the standard footer element, in particular the copyright element, may be timely.
  
  (These elements/IDs are widespread in Diigo 3 beta, for example
  http://groups.diigo.com/Diigo_HQ/forum#fLine_2
  http://groups.diigo.com/Diigo_HQ/forum#copyright
  http://message.diigo.com/user/maggie_diigo#fLine_2
  http://message.diigo.com/user/maggie_diigo#copyright )
  
  Personally: I'm generally very happy with Diigo services, let's make this a positive discussion.
  
  In a work context: I'm happy enough that the contributions of my colleagues - to Diigo groups that are private - are more broadly positioned by the Research Councils UK (RCUK) position on publicly-funded research.†

  - but I refrain from doing so pending friendly discussion in this topic.
  
  Cheers

  Graham,
  
  Thanks for looking into this. Anyone with this area expertise, we'd also very much welcome your kind help. Thanks
  
  We basically use broiler plate language. Currently our bandwidth is all spent on executing future releases and bus discussions. Hopefully we will find some time to come back & review these. Sigh, too much to do, too little time :-( What a startup is all about :-)
