Yes! I think these are very helpful.
But I mean more creating the organization structure to actually monitor the registration and progress of the classes themselves: similar to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_United_States_Public_Poli...
Well, I think we don't have volunteers enough to organize a page such this English version. Maybe this list is enough?

I know the organization should be improved, but we need more volunteers and, as I see, most of our universities have 1. people not interested on Wikipedia and related projects for very complex and different reasons; 2. some times, even semi-illiterate students who just need a diploma to enter in the market - these people can be great volunteers, as compared to people who had a better formal education. (just a simplified overview to you understand a bit more, Jessie - please, if someone from Brazil disagree with what I said, just tell me)
I think I cannot organize, this semester, tasks as campus ambassadors are adviced and were trained, but I can contribute to convince this professors and some students to contribute to Wikipedia or, at least, free cultural works, for this I mean with a license compatible with WMF projects.
For example, I talked personally to two professors at University of Sao Paulo and both said to me send an email. I'm still waiting the professors say a day I can talk to them. Most of them are too busy publishing academic articles, I guess. Editing Wikipedia won't enter on their curriculum, so I imagine it will be a hard task But we will try.
