Hi Timboliu, thank you for your comment on the WIKISOO talk page. I agree, many of our students will be interested in Wikipedia's sister projects! We will certainly mention them, but we do struggle sometimes in the class to cover the main thing we are here for, which is to learn about Wikipedia. There are so many opportunities to go into more detail (sister projects, licensing, open access publishing, etc. etc.) and we try not to overwhelm our students with too much of it, especially right at the beginning.
Are you planning to take the course? If so, it would be great if you could take a few minutes to talk about the sister projects! Probably not in the first class session, but maybe in week 2 or week 3. Please let me know if this is something you'd like to do, and we can find a way to work it in! -Pete (talk) 02:51, 19 February 2014 (UTC)
- Also, by the way -- we have combined some talk pages, so we moved your original comment to Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Open (or shortcut WT:OPEN) -- sorry for any confusion! -Pete (talk) 20:38, 19 February 2014 (UTC)
- Hi Pete, thank you for your reaction. Can you tell me where I can find more information about the course? I already looked on WIKISOO talk page, but I cannot find information there. I would love to tell something about what I'm doing on the (Dutch) wikiversity and why I like it so much. Timboliu (talk) 07:49, 20 February 2014 (UTC)
- Sorry, I'm only now noticing your reply! General information about the course is here: WP:WIKISOO and the home page for the current round is here: Education Program:School of Open/WIKISOO (February 2014)
- Please feel free to send me an email if you'd like to present some of your work to the class. The most sensible time for that would be late March (weeks 4 and 5 of the course). This sounds promising, I look forward to hearing from you! -Pete (talk) 02:26, 4 March 2014 (UTC)
- Hi Pete, is it possible to share something about my dream for wikiversity? Maybe the class can help me with realising this dream? The dream is that (business) people are going to share their knowledge on public platforms. For instance on the English wikiversity I started a page called http://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Companies. What I would like to ask your class if they can help me to share some information about the company they are currently working for. For instance: what information would be useful to someone who is going to work for that company. On the Dutch wikiversity you can find several examples: http://beta.wikiversity.org/wiki/Bedrijven. What I also want to do is share information about business processes. On the English wikiversity I just started: http://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Domains. On the Dutch wikiversity I already have a lot of content: http://beta.wikiversity.org/wiki/Domeinen#Procesdomein_per_functie. Do you think the above is possible in some way?
