Gaia's Heartbeat music video
Gaia's Heartbeat is a music video produced by the SolSeed movement to raise empathy for Gaia. See the blog post explaining the motivation for the video. I'm very close to the video (one of the producers) and very close to SolSeed ... AND ... even I feel a little weird about putting up a video that promotes a different website on the front page of this one. It feels like maybe it should say "Gaia.wiki" at the end instead of SolSeed.org. That said, it is a creative commons music video and the ending SolSeed.org credit satisfies the by attribution. What do the rest of you think? -- Brandon CS Sanders (talk) 19:32, 11 December 2014 (UTC)


 * Obviously I am equally close to both the SolSeed Movement and our video but, never-the-less, I support it being here. The question that comes to mind is this.  Offline, we had a discussion about the nature of the content that would be appropriate for Gaia.wiki and we talked about it being superpersonal content aimed at the goal outlined on the main page.  But the goal outlined on the main page includes the words "to promote".  There are a variety of ways to promote something but visceral arguments are the best practice.  In order to achieve the stated goal, this video is perfect because it makes the argument for accepting the metaphor into your mind with awe inspiring imagery and poetic vocals.  Likewise, the least effective means of promoting something is through clear intellectual analysis.  Therefore, rather than limiting our content to documenting the rational reasons for using the Gaia metaphor, we should argue viscerally for the metaphor and the most visceral arguments are personal rather than intellectual.

Logo
Just a reminder: The top left corner is a designated space for a wiki logo. Would someone be interested in uploading a 150x150 image, preferably transparent, to the wiki to give it a personal touch? Once uploaded, I could make the image the wiki's designated logo. -Jason (talk) 16:56, 18 December 2014 (UTC)


 * I've created Project:Logo to be a space to think about the logo and share examples. -Brandon CS Sanders (talk) 17:25, 18 December 2014 (UTC)

Wiki.Wiki Invitation
Project members are invited to edit the entry I created for Gaia.wiki at Wiki.Wiki, the network which hosts this project. This is certainly not required, but it is a good opportunity to promote the wiki and its scope to a wider audience, if interested. Feel free to edit the Wiki.Wiki entry directly or let me know if you have any requests and I could edit it on your behalf. Thanks! See http://wiki.wiki/Gaia.wiki. -Jason (talk) 13:56, 23 January 2015 (PST)

Wiki.Wiki leader boards
Gaia.wiki is on a couple of Wiki.Wiki's leader boards:

 * https://wiki.wiki/Wikis_by_number_of_total_views

Congrats, and keep up the great work! -Jason (talk) 09:07, 7 July 2015 (PDT)
