I was talking to my friend, who wanted to share some slide sets
online, for teaching introductory Python. We investigated a bit and
tried to find a good solution for collaboratively editing slides. I
wrote about it here:

Do you think an extension like this would be useful/appropriate for
Wikiversity? Would the Wikiversity community show its support for
having it enabled at Wikiversity? (I know no one can speak for
everyone but you can guess... :))

For one of my classes, I did a presentation on wikis. Instead of doing it as a powerpoint, I actually made the entire series as a set of live wiki pages. Now, this wouldn't be for everyone, since you either need a MediaWiki install on a computer/laptop or reliable Internet, but it can work very nicely.

I can see that it could be something of interest, especially for "live" or outreach projects, where we people are doing real life instruction.
