Hi all,
Please see my previous e-mail where I suggest that the Wikipedia model
does not work on sister sites - such as Wikiversity. Yes, maybe it is not
appropriate for Wikipedia, but maybe it could actually help turn
Wikiversity into something much more dynamic.
Also perhaps it could have a positive impact on Wikisource. These are
structures which have a different social dynamic than WP. What matters is
how it works in these different communities.
I feel that having a range of Open Educational Resources on Wikiversity
would help not only WV but also WP. If these good few administrators want
to get involved with WV, well, of course they would be welcome. But it is
a different environment . . .
all the best

It would be... tricky to get the idea past the
community on Wikipedia,
though, would it not? I know a good few administrators who delete any paid
articles on sight.
