[Foundation-l] Wikiversity

[Anthere]

It came to my mind that we probably did not clearly announced here that 
we approved the creation of Wikiversity :-)

Here is the resolution : 
http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Resolution_Wikiversity

A couple of important points

1) there will be a domain at beta.wikiversity.org, where all new 
languages may contribute and start working on translation of guidelines 
etc...

2) those languages with at least 10 active participants can request a 
separate domain name. As of today, I presume the english language has at 
least 10 people interested, so you guys may bug Brion to ask for 
en.wikiversity.org. I am not sure if it is the case for any other language.

3) All sites will be flagged "beta" in the same way that wikinews has 
been for at least 6 months.

4) During these 6 months, guidelines should be developped, *in 
particular* with regards to collaborative research. We would hope that 
these guidelines are as much as possible developped on the beta site (in 
particular collaborative research), so that all languages share a common 
goal and a few common non negociable rules.

5) At the end of these 6 months period, the project will be reviewed, in 
particular so that the issue of collaborative research is qualified, and 
if possible to define whether the beta stage is over. Reviewal will be 
done by Spc.

I hope that's clear... ;-)

We wish good luck to this project.
