Hi all,
(crossposted to main discussion fora of all Wikiversity projects)
I've just been notified that the board will be reviewing Wikiversity
at its next meeting (on the 16th of March). The major question around
Wikiversity at its setting up was about research. So far, scope and
guidelines have been discussed at a multilingual forum, but there are
new policy proposal developments at:
*
http://beta.wikiversity.org/wiki/Wikiversity:Scope_of_research/Policy/En
*
http://beta.wikiversity.org/wiki/Wikiversity:Research_guidelines/En
It would be very helpful to get some more feedback from non-English
project participants - these were always meant to reflect the whole
Wikiversity community (and is why the multilingual wiki was set up in
the first place). Please translate, edit, and/or comment..
Specifically, I should say that one initial concern was how smaller,
less-developed Wikiversity projects will deal with research. Another
obvious concern is how will we deal with fringe groups (eg. Nazis etc)
who want to use Wikiversity as a publishing house? If we deal with
these questions at a minimum, we are a long way towards having a
sustainable base of policies that all Wikiversities can work from.
Thanks,
Cormac
