This meeting took place on Saturday, 10th March 2007 @ 22:00 UTC in the freenode channel #wikiversity. A log of the meeting can be found at /log. There are further discussions on the discussion page.

This page is to plan a meeting on IRC to discuss research scope and guidelines - in advance of the WMF board's meeting on March 16th. Specifically, are these proposals good and realistic enough to move Wikiversity out of its "beta" phase?

Pros

edit
  • It might be a good way of "hammering out" ideas that could be useful in addressing questions that the board may have.
  • It would be an opportunity for people of different Wikiversities to get to know each other.

Cons

edit
  • There is actually no research on Wikiversity.
  • Perhaps we should better discuss why Wikiversity is so little attractive to researchers.

Channel

edit

What IRC channel should we have this meeting in? Can anyone get in touch with the ChanOp of irc.freenode #wikiversity ? Otherwise #wikiversity-en is available, but doesn't seem ideal (en-centric)...

Could we not meet in a research-specific channel, such as #wikiversity-research (doubt it exists)? - Xenon (talk)
