University engagement with Wikimedia projects
by Leigh Blackall 08 Mar '14

08 Mar '14

Hi folks. Who can point me to or suggest a process for a university wishing to engage Wikimedia projects? By that I mean initial consultation to get advice on how to consider and formulate an appropriate plan encompasing the alignment of policy and practices through to the use, development and production of content. We have ideas on what steps might be good, but I'm wanting suggestions and pointers from others. Regards Leigh

rebooting the discussion of solved problem pages on Wikiversity
by Robert Dodier 05 Jan '14

05 Jan '14

Now that we have everyone's attention, I'd like to see if anyone would care to comment on the substantial topic at hand, namely solved problem pages on Wikiversity. To recap, I am thinking of setting up one or more pages of math problems solved by Maxima, a symbolic computation system. I am imagining that there would be a main page and a page for each solved problem. Each problem page would have a brief discussion and then a solution with formulas, code, and graphics as needed. Is that something that is suitable for Wikiversity? To make it more concrete, I am thinking that the solved problem pages will look something like this article (I didn't write the article). http://freakonometrics.hypotheses.org/11018 Thanks for any light you can shed on this question.
