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

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).

Thanks for any light you can shed on this question.
