Hi, I have someone from the Scuola Superiore per Mediazione Linguistica who is interested in the Wikiversity project. It can be quite a good contact. So could you please let me know who I can connect her to? Please don't tell me just to subscribe to the list. I need one or two persons to create a small group of people who to refer to in such cases. Probably there will be also an contact to the University of Rome - but all this takes some time and some direct contacts.
So please let me know who can help me on that :-)
Thank you!
(I am not continuously online these days - I am with a dial-in connection in Germany and so answering could take some time).
Best,

I hope you understand that there is no "project leader" like Jimbo specifically for Wikiversity. There are a few people I could strongly suggest that are leading organizers for Wikiversity.
Most notably:
http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/User%3AMfinney (Michael D. Finney and the organizer of the School of Fire and Emergency Management) http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/User%3ALazyquasar http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/User%3AJWSchmidt http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/User%3ADragontamer http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/User%3AJavariel
I know I'm missing people, but these are all very active in the discussions of Wikiversity and some good people to contact to understand what is going on. All of these individuals have e-mail links from their user pages that you can contact them privately or add a note on their user talk pages, and are real people to contact, not just a generic mailing list. Some additional individuals can be found on
http://de.wikiversity.org/ (German Wikiversity... which is up and going as a seperate project at the moment)
and there are some other individuals that work on Wikiversity in languages besides English. There were over 200 supporters of Wikiversity when the formal vote for project creation was made, so there is certainly no shortage of people with opinions on the topic. There also appears to be some very steady development of Wikiversity on Wikibooks at the moment. For formal "partnerships" and arrangements, I would recommend contacting the Wikimedia Foundation board (notably Jimbo, but any board member is sufficient for this).
