Yes, the objective is to have an initial demo for December (hopefully, if
travels and other work stuff let me dedicate enough time). The demo will
include a CMS, integrating the wiki, as well as other tools for annotated
Bibliography, a descriptive repository with information about wiki research
tools (links, descriptions, manuals, examples, screenshots, etc), a
directory of researchers (initially simple, but it will potentially evolve
to a "mini-facebook" of researchers in due course), as well as research
news, and sindication of blogs and external resources.
Thanks for clarifying, Felipe - sounds good. :-)
We are open to collaborate with any other interested
research
group/organization/foundation. The aim will be, after having a working demo
on December (as a "proof of concept" of the usability and feasibility of our
idea) to search interested organization/research programs to get fundings
for a more formal initiative.
As Daniel said, I would really like to promote cooperation with other
initiatives like Wikiversity. Our goal is not at all to *substitute* any
other web place, but to *help* to index and find a lot of useful information
about wiki tools, wiki researchers and wiki research working lines and
methodologies, publications, etc. which is currently dispersed throughout a
broader set of pages/sites.
That's great - I've signed up now, and posted an announcement to the English
Wikiversity's Colloquium ('Village Pump' equivalent).
