Hello,
1) Is there a wikiversity mailing list? If so, I couldn't find it at mail.wikipedia.org . 2) Is this in fact the official logo for Wikiversity? http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Wikiversity-logo.svg 3) If so, whose fool idea was it to use a third-party LGPL icon as a logo (rather hard to subsume as {{CopyrightByWikimedia}} like the other project logos), and what is the status of this vote? http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikiversity/logo
thanks, Brianna commons:User:pfctdayelise

Not yet since the vote is still going on at http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikiversity/logo
I don't know the status of that vote.

Well, it's not listed at http://mail.wikimedia.org/ either. Who can edit those pages? Devs?

Brianna,
the wikiversity mailing list is listed at http://mail.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/ - I've no idea why - and personally, I'd also prefer if all Wikimedia lists were listed together. I don't know who can carry out such tasks, or if it's possible to "merge" two lists.
On the logo - pateince - the logo contest is coming to a close - and the winning logo will definitely be "copyright of the Wikimedia Foundation" - it was specified in the contest rules. The current image (ie mortarboard) is, and always was, simply a placeholder.
Cheers,
Cormac

This is a funny quirk of the configuration; hopefully I can get it worked out.

Yes, there is:
_______________________________________________ Wikiversity-l mailing list Wikiversity-l@wikimedia.org http://mail.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikiversity-l

I do not know. There have been some logo contest rumblings so you might check with others at the mailing list or at the Colloquium: http://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Wikiversity:Colloquium

Looks like the voting process status is layed out. "In *phase 4*, which lasts from 16 October http://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=October_16&action=edit until 31 October http://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=October_31&action=edit, you can now determine the winning logo! *Vote for ONE logo only.* Please note that if the winning logo should happen to use Wikimedia colours or have blue as its most prominent colour, those colours *will have to be changed* afterwards to something which is okay with the Wikimedia Marketing Department."
Perhaps not so foolish. If the image is actually LGPL then it can be used without permission on the Wikimedia Foundation when people wish to publish GFDL'ed materials from Wikiversity ..... correct?
IIRC it took months/years for the Wikibooks people to sort out how to go about publishing a Wiki Junior book due to trademark and logo issues surrounding the "Wikibooks" trademark and logo.
If you find out the status of the vote after 31 October 06 please be sure to let us know at the Wikiversity mailing list.

The only reason all the other project logos are {{CopyrightByWikimedia}} is because the WMF wanted them to be that way. Presumably they want that for all their official project logos.
At any rate, it seems not to be important, because the image I was talking about is not a contender in this vote.
