Hi all, There will be a talk by Wikinomics author Don Tapscott [1] at the World Economic Forum, in Davos, which will explicitly discuss Wikiversity (see [2]). This will be attended by leaders on the global stage (politics and business), so it's pretty significant. It might be worth keeping an eye on the WEF's site [3] and any blogs who are covering it (I'm not sure if it will be recorded and streamed-or-archived - Davos tends to be a bit of a 'closed room', from what I remember). Still - good news!
Cheers, Cormac
