Hi,
Topic: Sandbox Server (http://beta.wikiversity.org/wiki/Sandbox_Server)
I have "speak" with Daniel of the German Wikimedia and he has said that the WMDE would sponsor us a server. The details and condition:
• We (respectively one of us) rent the server and we (the person) send the bill to the WMDE and then they repays the costs
• The WMDE gives for first time max. 50 €/month
• The server hosts only projects, software, etc. which are for the Wikimedia community
• We must send every three month a report which include:
o Current projects
o How the community accepts the projects
o Our ideas for the next three months (which extensions, software, etc. should be develop, which software should test, etc.)
If all is OK, we need one who rents the server and we must create a first report of our ideas for the next three months.
Daniel of the WMDE is in the mailing list, too. We can ask him if there are some questions.
Viele Grüße
Jan Luca
Just a reminder.... this is in about 11 hours :)

Hi all,
Sue Gardner, the Executive Director of the Wikimedia Foundation, will
be having office hours this Thursday at 17:00 UTC (10:00 PT, 13:00 ET)
on IRC in #wikimedia-office.
If you do not have an IRC client, there are two ways you can come chat
using a web browser: First is using the Wikizine chat gateway at
<http://chatwikizine.memebot.com/cgi-bin/cgiirc/irc.cgi>. Type a
nickname, select irc.freenode.net from the top menu and
#wikimedia-office from the following menu, then login to join.
Also, you can access Freenode by going to http://webchat.freenode.net/,
typing in the nickname of your choice and choosing wikimedia-office as
the channel. You may be prompted to click through a security warning,
which you can click to accept.
Please feel free to forward (and translate!) this email to any other
relevant email lists you happen to be on.

Subject: [berkmanfriends] Syllabus XML wiki
To: Berkman Friends <berkmanfriends(a)eon.law.harvard.edu>
For anyone who wants to contribute to creating an XML schema for
syllabi, I've set up a wiki:
http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/syllixml/Main_Page
Why care about SylliXml? Because it would enable us to do interesting
things with aggregations of syllabi:
Educators could use it to learn how other teachers are constructing
similar courses and what readings they are assigning (yay H20!)
Researchers could mine this data to discover trends in education and
patterns in disciplines
Libraries could use the lists of readings attached to courses and
class sessions to guide researchers to useful and influential works
(yay ShelfLife!)
Students could use this aggregated information to make decisions about
course selections and schools
So, feel free to jump in, or to forward the link to someone you know
and don't like enough to want to shelter from XML.
Best,
David W.
