Well,
I dont think that Beta worked so much to share experiences. If I want to
have experience now, I have to go to those languages I understand and stay
day for some time.

Hi Jan,
Thanks for keeping us updated of your Wikimania talk, which looks very
interesting! (Unfortunately, I won't be able to participate in Haifa - I'll
have to see about participating remotely.)
I think it's an important point to make about the diversity of approaches
between Wikiversity projects. Wikiversity is certainly a difficult fish to
pin down. ;-) But it's worth also pointing out that the intention of setting
up the beta.wikiversity project was not only to incubate new projects, but
also share experiences between existing language projects. I'm not sure how
useful it has been in that respect - my personal observation up until a year
or so ago was that it hasn't really taken off in that regard, but others may
disagree. I think it might be useful, in your presentation, to either
reflect on that, or to point towards further potential work in sharing
experiences, thoughts, etc between individual Wikiversity projects.
All the best,
Cormac

Hi,
I have just visited several Wikiversities in preparation of my presentation
of this project on Wikimania:
http://wikimania2011.wikimedia.org/wiki/Submissions/From_the_Wikiversity_co…
I red recent core discussions on cs, en, es, it, pt and ru and I am
wondering how different approaches in fullfilling our missions are. Now it
realy seems to me that Wikiversity is in fact researching e-learning in
MediaWiki software. And because of the different approaches and different
understandigs there might be multiple results.
Let me give you here a teaser:
*pt, ru and es are based on brick and mortar school units (i.e. elementary
schools, departments, institutes and so on)
**from a realy interesting discussion on pt, I have find out that it for
people who will come up to these units in the future and who create
educationa materials arround themseves
http://pt.wikiversity.org/wiki/Wikiversidade:Esplanada#Perfil_da_Wikiversid…
*en and cs was open to deploy all of what contributers deployed. Nothing
was deleted and sometimes this was causing problems not just within the
Wikimedia community, but also at cs.wv. These languages are trying to sort
this content recently, trying to put an order in to chaos, by type:
http://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Help:Resources_by_type
*recently on cs and ru, its some users were trying to have just live
educational courses. The other stuff to mute or delete.
And others different approaches. So do not forget guys, there are also
other Wikiversities, which are not copying en.wv
Regards,
Juan
