Hi folks,
I am having for you this Report to the Czech Wikiversity. Full version
available via: http://beta.wikiversity.org/wiki/Wikiversity:Reports.
It will be one year (May 26, 2009 will Czech language Wikiversity celebrate
one year) from the foundation of Wikiversity in the Czech
language<http://cs.wikiversity.org/wiki/Wikiverzita:Hlavn%C3%AD_strana>.
During that time this mutation has underwent stormy development.
At this time there are more than 1000 pages and subpages in the main
namespace. Most of these pages are database items of original research. The
well known project Dreams <http://cs.wikiversity.org/wiki/Sny/Datab%C3%A1ze>(
*Sny*) has the database of nearly 400 hundred dreams from 5 users being
collected for nearly one year. Other databases items are of the Czech
version of English Bloom Clock
<http://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Bloom_Clock>and others. The number of
users is slightly growing, while the hard core is
still the same 2-5 people. The success of this growing project is based on
limited background structure and continuous works in the main namespace.
Czech community also agreed not to copy other project's in background
structure (portals, schools, departments) and organize just using category
system. As mentioned before currently most pages are part of databases of
scientific projects, some pages also belong to personal learning, when
community learning and stationary courses are not so spread within the Czech
Wikiversity yet.
The content of Czech Wikiversity is being release under GFDL compatible to
other WMF projects in Czech language (excluding Czech Wikinews), when there
is also and agreement with the future migration to CC-By-SA 3.0 license.
Thats why, all imported content from GFDL only projects is being categorized
by technical categories and most participants release their edits under two
licenses: GFDL and CC-By-SA 3.0.
Besides the pedagogical and research content the community is also working
on MediaWiki synchronization. Namespace Forum was just one of the steps,
recently more specification for the project are being prepared, such as
extension of upload (more open formats, formats of scientific data etc.),
new namespaces, development of extensions...
