Thanks for your answers and explanations! My answer is: Viral marketing.
It's a service at Wikiversity for pupils and students. They can use it or send a mail to me. I have the ODF-documents...
Our big question at the German Wikiversity is, how to get Wikiversity into schools and universities. You can create flyers and other give-aways, but what do you achieve? Our timetables can everybody download, everybody can use them and everybody can need them. Everybody who uses them, will bring the Wikiversity logo and a short information about our work into schools and universities. Every pupil or student will so become a potential ambassador for our goals and our idea. Do you understand? We believe the timetable is more effective then a flyer or a information desk at the campus.
Our next step will be to distribute the timetables via project-news and so on...
Cheers,
Michael from Germany

Hi Michael,
Your first mail was sent to the list. :-) Gmail doesn't add a mail you've sent to a mailing list to your inbox - it only shows up there once someone replies. In future, you might want to check the archives to see if it's been sent: http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/comproj/
The timetables are interesting, and look good. They appear to be designed to be printed out and filled in, right? I presume this is optional for students - and that it is meant as a study aid, rather than an enforced timetable? Finally, how is this "spreading Wikiversity"?
Cheers,
Cormac

Hi @all,

It's German, but I think, you will understand quick, what we intend at
the
German Wikiversity. We made templates for a schedule of lessons and
added
our logo and a short information about our project:
Wikiversity. Learning and teaching. Wikiversity is the new online
learning
community for schools and universities.
You can easily find us at http://de.wikiversity.org.
Something like this could be interesting even for other projects,
especially for other Wikiversities...
