Dear Wikidatians,
Before porting World University and School (
http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/World_University - like Wikipedia
with MIT OCW) to WikiData, I'd like to learn of wikis which work on obscure
handheld browsers, particularly for older internet phones in the
developing/emerging world.
For example, Wikipedia doesn't work on my Palm Treo mobile phone using Palm
OS 4.0. For WUaS to be helpful as wiki to all 3000-8000 languages, easy
usage on all or many older mobile phone browsers will be key.
Does anyone know of a list of diverse wikis I can try on my old, internet
mobile Palm Treo OS phone (at least as readable as New York Time's
articles, which aren't wiki, on my Palm OS), which might in turn work with
WikiData, WikiBase and SemanticWiki?
WUaS is planning for ALL ~200 countries and 3,000-8,000 languages, as wiki.
Thanks.
All the best,
Scott

Heya :)
Just wanted to let you know that we have updated the demo system today
with the latest code: http://wikidata-test.wikimedia.de Please go and
have a look, try stuff and let us know about problems. Also do spread
the word to your Wikipedia friends who have not yet heard about
Wikidata or the demo system as it is really important for us to get
feedback early. We only have a year - let's make it count.
I hope we can update the demo system a lot more regularly from now on.
Cheers
Lydia

Have you tried the mobile version of Wikipedia (for example en.m.wikipedia.org) ?
This is probably a bit out of scope for Wikidata, becouse the issue of how mobile versions of wikis work with older browsers is an wider issue that also affects MediaWiki and MobileFrontend.
Hey :)
Silke, Guillaume and others did a great job taking notes at the
sessions during the Wikidata/RENDER summit. They're published here:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikidata/Berlin_summit_2012
Most of the team will be at the MediaWiki hackathon until Sunday. I'm
traveling to the admin meeting of the German language Wikipedia right
now. Say hi if you're at either of them.
Cheers
Lydia

The answer is that WorldCat is published under Open Data Commons,
Attribution (ODC-BY).
For more information http://opendatacommons.org/category/odc-by/ .
I know CC0 is tempting choice, but I hope a choice is made that can
accommodate willing partners.
