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. 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 (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 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…

From notable projects it is important to mention project Dreams (Sny) – a collection of peoples dreams, project Organ (Projekt:Varhany) – a group of people working on electronic organ creation in their homes or Bloom Clock (Projekt: Kvetení rostlin) – blooming times of vascular plants. From courses Wikipedia manual (Práce na Wikipedii) or German Prepositions (Předložky (němčina)) could be mentioned. From other resources it is Phytopathology consulting room (Rostlinolékařská poradna), Reeding room (Čítárna), Photography studio (Ateliér fotografie) or Wiki-Wiki (Wiki-Wiki) – a trimestral magazine about WMF projects bringing people their content and educational resources.
