hello. I´m a spanish speach girl. I´d like to comunicate with other person which know about the restauration or another issue. I promese to answer with my bad english see you
Hi there, Thanks for your interest in Wikiversity. Currently, Wikiversity doesn't _have_ a Spanish community. There may be one or two Spanish speakers, but if you really want to find a Spanish wiki community, I suggest you head to the Spanish Wikipedia at http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portada, I'm sure they'll be able to help you there.
Regards, Draicone

Actually, there is a "Spanish Wikiversity" community that is very active in trying to get their edition of Wikiversity going, and even has built a "Wikiversity prototype" similar to the Wikiversity pages that used to exist on the English Wikibooks.
I would strongly start with: http://es.wikibooks.org/wiki/Wikiversidad%3APortada
It should be noted that they have already accumulated over 33 approval votes and not a single vote of opposition. See:
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages#Spanish_Wikiversit...
(BTW, if you are a spanish speaker and want to support or even oppose this idea, please add your vote to this page as appropriate)
Frankly, I don't see exactly why it can't be started all other things considered, as I think a Spanish edition would do quite well. Still, Wikiversity is going through a beta evaluation and it might not be quite ready for a massive expansion into many additional languages yet. The 33 votes does exceed by a large margin what the WMF board suggested as a benchmark for establishing a new language edition of Wikiversity.

With 33 support votes (presumably including ten people who are actively interested in working on it), the Spanish Wikiversity should absolutely be set up - the beta site is in no way intended to act as an impediment to new projects being set up, but rather acting as a point of multilingual coordination, and as an incubator for new proposed language Wikiversities. If there are ten people willing to work on any language Wikiversity, that language should very definitely be set up - by bugging the appropriate people (like Brion) to do so if necessary.
Cheers,
Cormac

I've noticed that new versions of Wikipedias and other Wikimedia projects tend to go in fits and starts, with usually a whole bunch getting started at about the same time. With Wikiversity being so new, it might be overlooked. So yes, raising the issue should happen as well in other forums.
At the same time, I don't feel comfortable about bugging Brion through other than official channels unless it is a real emergency (this doesn't feel like one of those dire emergencies). So what is the best way to get this accomplished? IRC? e-mail to Brion?
Apparently just having the votes in a central place that is used to cast the votes is insufficient to get anything to happen.
Good evening,

Meta is not the place to request for the wiki to be opened, it is the place where people tell whether a wiki should be opened or not.
The better place to ask the Spanish-language Wikiversity to be opened is to leave your request on mediazilla: http://bugzilla.wikipedia.org (giving the link to the meta page where the "vote" has taken place).
If you need some help to open the bug, tell me and I'll help you.
