Hello Sucheta,
for me this looks like a good restart for Wikiversity. For me beside of providing university courses one of the target of Wikiversity is also always to be actually do crowd sourced research works.
Best regards Ting

Hi all,
A few of my friends and I have been planning to document the history
of
counterculture in Bengali art and literature. These friends are also working in that domain professionally, and have access to a huge repository of texts, images, and other relevant details that they are willing to
make
available digitally in the form of free contents. We wish to have the contents as wikis, and, pictures and video snippets that might be
involved
- as properly licensed free materials. Now, the concern is if there is
some Wikimedia Project that would host contents that are based on such an enormous amount of original research. Wikipedia is certainly not the appropriate place. And, as there exist no earlier works on this
particular
domain on the internet, references would be negligible. I was thinking about Wikibooks, instead. I am not entirely sure if that fits either,
but
I assume it fits better than Wikipedia, at least. The last option is to
host
it ourselves with the MediaWiki setup, and I am considering it very
much.
But, the idea essentially is to make people edit and enrich it with as much inputs as possible. It would be really helpful, in that case, if it
could
be placed in one of the Wikimedia projects. Suggestions, of every
kind,
would be deeply appreciated.
Best, Sucheta _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list, guidelines at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/ wiki/Mailing_lists/Guidelines Wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l
