I've worked with Steve Foerster before, I think it was at Wikieducator and
Resist Copyright wasn't it Steve? Steve is a respectable guy, who I would
very much value having around in Wikiversity. I don't much engage with the
over all policies and politics of Wikiversity Steve. They tend to go the
same way Wikieducator has from time to time. I hope you'll etch out a
little project space and proceed.

Also, as an FYI to others on the list - Steve Foerster
founded a
competitor to Wikiversity and has an extreme conflict of interest in this
topic. Most likely, he doesn't even have a Wikiversity account.

Agreed. The mention of PlanetMath, which is a
good resource, was
obviously meant to be a helpful response to a question asked by someone
else.
Even if there is a policy against mentioning external resources, no
matter how relevant or good they may be, it should be rescinded. Such a
policy would place the organisation over its stated goal to further
education.

Subject: Re: [Wikiversity-l] Are "solved problems" suitable for
Wikiversity?
@jeffery, mentioning Planet math here is advertising? Really? When did
that become advertising?
Hmmmm, still wondering. Its not as if the link is to Joe's personal
website or something. Its a website known by many. Joe is just bringing up
an issue and I believe its great considering the matter than banning the
matter saying its advertising.
"Not an advertising group"? Apart from the mailing list of Wikiversity,
where else can discussions of this sort be held?
I'm in this mailing list, Wikimania, Wikipedia, and other mailing lists.
Links are posted to references and stuffs like that. They're all Wikimedia
mailing list, but how come such links never get categorized as adverts but
are used in discussion?
Is this "not advertising group" idea applied to only Wikiversity?
