Hey guys, the new instance feddit.org is online, actually still in the test phase, but everything is running smoothly, while we at feddit.de do not know how things will continue because the admin is not available and the website is down. The future of feddit.de is uncertain. Feddit.org is managed democratically by the non-profit organization fediverse.foundation in Vienna, where the servers are also located. The administration consists of 3 feddit.de people and one from the foundation. You can decide for yourself whether you want to move the community to feddit.org or stay here, but the option is there. Wann move?

Over the next four years, the oVert team will CT scan 20,000 fluid-preserved specimens from U.S. museum collections, producing high-resolution anatomical data for more than 80 percent of vertebrate genera.

These digital images and 3D mesh files will be open for exploration, download and 3D printing on MorphoSource, an open-access online database. These new media will provide unprecedented global access to valuable specimens in museum collections and enhance the research value of existing data-rich specimens in iDigBio.

oVert is a multi-institutional project funded by the National Science Foundation.

Digitizing specimens through CT scanning makes it easier for museums to share their rare and important specimens. This is the holotype of the rough-footed mud turtle, Kinosternon hirtepes, from the Florida Museum herpetology collection. Florida Museum of Natural History image by Ed Stanley

Wikidata has over 33 thousand items for movies that have fallen into the public domain. A fraction of these items (~1300 at the time of writing) have a video file, either at Wikimedia Commons, the Internet Archive, or YouTube.

WikiFlix is a bespoke interface to browse, search, and view these movies, and information about them, including cast members etc. It is modeled in the general theme of popular video streaming services, without trying to copy any specific one.

The WikiFlix database is updated hourly from Wikidata.

Because WikiFlix is putting an emphasis on entertainment, some movies are not suitable to be "advertised" eg on the main page. There is a community-maintained blacklist for such movies.

The WikiFlix tool is hosted on Toolforge in the US. Toolforge is operated by the Wikimedia Foundation. All WikiFlix content is generated from Wikidata and maintained by that community. Movies are hosted on Wikimedia Commons, the Internet Archive, or YouTube. The current maintainer for the technological aspects of WikiFlix is Magnus Manske.
