Hi, I have someone from the Scuola Superiore per
Mediazione Linguistica
who is interested in the Wikiversity project. It can be quite a good
contact. So could you please let me know who I can connect her to?
Please don't tell me just to subscribe to the list. I need one or two
persons to create a small group of people who to refer to in such cases.
Probably there will be also an contact to the University of Rome - but
all this takes some time and some direct contacts.
So please let me know who can help me on that :-)
Thank you!
(I am not continuously online these days - I am with a dial-in
connection in Germany and so answering could take some time).
Best,

I hope you understand that there is no "project leader" like Jimbo
specifically for Wikiversity. There are a few people I could strongly
suggest that are leading organizers for Wikiversity.
Most notably:
http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/User%3AMfinney (Michael D. Finney and the
organizer of the School of Fire and Emergency Management)
http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/User%3ALazyquasar
http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/User%3AJWSchmidt
http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/User%3ADragontamer
http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/User%3AJavariel
I know I'm missing people, but these are all very active in the
discussions of Wikiversity and some good people to contact to understand
what is going on. All of these individuals have e-mail links from their
user pages that you can contact them privately or add a note on their
user talk pages, and are real people to contact, not just a generic
mailing list. Some additional individuals can be found on
http://de.wikiversity.org/ (German Wikiversity... which is up and going
as a seperate project at the moment)
and there are some other individuals that work on Wikiversity in
languages besides English. There were over 200 supporters of
Wikiversity when the formal vote for project creation was made, so there
is certainly no shortage of people with opinions on the topic. There
also appears to be some very steady development of Wikiversity on
Wikibooks at the moment. For formal "partnerships" and arrangements, I
would recommend contacting the Wikimedia Foundation board (notably
Jimbo, but any board member is sufficient for this).
The special project committee is commissionned to work on such project.
Please see
Most notably, Cormaggio should try to revive the wikiversity issue, so
that a final decision is taken on the topic. I would highly include him
in the names mentionned above by Robert. This is a bit stupid that the
whole issue is still pending as of today.
For formal partnerships and arrangements, you may also contact the sp
com or any of its members. I am currently trying to work on the issue,
but it is slow building :-)
