However, it would be useful if Wikimedia would
create web gateways to
IRC for those without IRC clients.
I agree. I guess guidelines how to use mailing lists and IRC in an
online classes would be useful, too. Where in the Wikiversity site
one should write these?

Teemu, thank you for bringing up this subject - it's something we've
discussed but not put into practice yet. There was an early initiative
by Robert Horning to teach calculus through IRC, though I've no idea
how successful it was. If you want to contact him, his Wikibooks
userpage would probably be quickest:
<http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/User:Robert_Horning>
On your question, there is currently a page on Wikiversity about how
to get in touch with other Wikiversity/Wikimedia community members via
IRC: <http://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Wikiversity:Chat>. I was unsure
of whether to set up a page at something like:
<http://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Wikiversity:Using IRC> (link doesn't
exist - yet!), but decided to send this email first. If you want to
set this up yourself, you're free to do so. Or, perhaps, if you'd like
to discuss these things via IRC, you're always most welcome to join us
on irc.freenode channel: #wikiversity-en
Hope to take this further - and "kiitos" again :-)
