Actually, my Perl for Newbies series of Presentations is not part of wikibooks. I wrote it before I was aware of wikipedia and possibly before wikibooks existed. It was written using Quad-Pres, which is a sort-of home grown HTML slides generator.
Like I said, the text and code in the slides are public domain, so they could be integrated into separate works. Part of them were already reformated into tutorials or howto's as part of http://perlmeme.org/. [1]
I have some ideas for a 5th or 6th presentation or perhaps I need to beef up my 4th presentatio, but I'll have to start writing them.
Hi Shlomi,
You might consider developing some lesson plans or placing your slide presentations into the public commons under an FDL at an appropriate location in Wikiversity. http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Wikiversity
We do not have formal approval to proceed yet but an administrator at Wikibooks (Robert Horning) has articulated an excellent plan to duplicate the Wikibooks wiki at the en.wikiversity.org domain and then delete or modify inappropriate materials and link structures in both wikis to minimize rework once we have authority from the Wikimedia Foundation Board to proceed with Wikiversity on Wikimedia Foundation infrastructure.
