Summary: I would like to see some kind of "recognition" system / practice in the Wikiversity. It could be a simple list of Wikiversity course each user has took with links to the course pages and course work. This way people could use their "Wikiversity portfolio / CV" also when they are looking for a job. The employer / person hiring may then decide what value she gives for the "Wikiversity courses".
I really like the notion of "recognition" as something that is more basic than a degree. I think that if the Wikiversity activities that people take part in are recognised, not just within the community, but *outside* it (ie in the working world) then we will have achieved something really radical. It is education for all, and opportunities for all. Funnily enough, even though this is a utopian vision, I still this this is more practical than the idea of giving out free degrees. :-)
