Hi all,

(crossposted to main discussion fora of all Wikiversity projects)

I've just been notified that the board will be reviewing Wikiversity at its next meeting (on the 16th of March). The major question around Wikiversity at its setting up was about research. So far, scope and guidelines have been discussed at a multilingual forum, but there are new policy proposal developments at:

* http://beta.wikiversity.org/wiki/Wikiversity:Scope_of_research/Policy/En * http://beta.wikiversity.org/wiki/Wikiversity:Research_guidelines/En

It would be very helpful to get some more feedback from non-English project participants - these were always meant to reflect the whole Wikiversity community (and is why the multilingual wiki was set up in the first place). Please translate, edit, and/or comment..

Specifically, I should say that one initial concern was how smaller, less-developed Wikiversity projects will deal with research. Another obvious concern is how will we deal with fringe groups (eg. Nazis etc) who want to use Wikiversity as a publishing house? If we deal with these questions at a minimum, we are a long way towards having a sustainable base of policies that all Wikiversities can work from.

Thanks,

Cormac
