Hi all
WMUK would like to provide better materials aimed at the general public which explain the
benefits of open knowledge.
What is the objective here?
I have already been signposted to some existing resources (provided by other
organisations) but if you know of any really good materials on this, please let me know.
Also, if anyone would like to take on the task of writing a short, simple guide to open
knowledge from a Wikimedia perspective, please let me know! This will go on our website
but will also be a document that we can email to people as necessary.
As necessary for what? Outside of a few textbook and journal
publishers its not as if there are many people who oppose the concept.
You want to see how open access journals are used on wikipedia?

Want to see some pretty pictures in use?

Want a project that could improve wikipedia's use of open access? Run
Beall’s List against the database to see if there any references that
need review:
