2007 November 17 - Greek Wikiversity - final approval ? & paper about WV

 * Greek Wikiversity final approval ?
 * Unfortunately not all comments are available.
 * edit 2007-11-20: seems not good or ?


 * paper about WV:
 * Today there was someone in the German chat who is going to write about Wikiversity in a seminary called "Seminar zu Design und Analyse von Web 2.0 Projekten" (there will also be a topic about Wikibooks). Let's see what will come out.
 * Was the one who will write about Wikibooks also there? Or was he/she in the wb channel? Do you know that? It seems to me that their tutor (Tischler) likes wiki and open source. :) -- 89.50.54.64 aka heuler06 17:14, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Only de:Benutzer:Franz was at #wikiversity-de - perhaps he could give you details about the other person ? Erkan Yilmaz ( Wikiversity:Chat, wiki blog ) 17:53, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
 * This is interesting - will they be reporting back somehow, or will we have to nominate someone to keep tabs on the seminar? (Will that someone be you, Erkan? :-)) Cormaggio talk 09:59, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Since the seminar will be in 1 month, I guess he will soon start. I have contacted him also now. I just saw a rough draft some time ago in the chat. Other questions of him can be found here (in German). We offered him help - regarding information - but of course he should do the work for himself :-) Erkan Yilmaz ( Wikiversity:Chat, wiki blog ) 17:03, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
 * The presentation and the paper (29 pages) are available now in German language, Erkan Yilmaz ( Wikiversity:Chat, wiki blog ) 17:37, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

edit 2011-10-21:
 * that guy never got active at de.WV anymore
 * as I see last edit on page de:Wikiversity:Presse was in 2009
 * I thought en.Wv would be better: In the media but the last edit there was even earlier :-(
 * outreach wikimedia has not more though: Bookshelf/Wikiversity#Wikiversity

2007 November 11 - what will happen if you start talking to yourself ?
Let's see what happens: incubator:User_talk:Erkan_Yilmaz
 * you are bored too much ;-) -- 83.133.5.85 aka heuler06 07:47, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Hello heuler06, that was not the expected reaction I thought would happen, but this reaction is better than nothing. Erkan Yilmaz ( Wikiversity:Chat, wiki blog ) 11:25, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
 * We all talk to ourselves! A blog can be a running conversation with ourselves - which often hopes to include others in that conversation. As to "what will happen?", that can actually be quite a profound question, with profound answers. But as to whether we need to ask ourselves 'how we are', well, I think that may be pushing the idea of a conversation. ;-) Cormaggio talk 10:04, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

edit 2011-10-21:
 * yeah, sometimes I can be crazy, though others say that's being creative
 * I can recommend blogs, see also: User:Erkan_Yilmaz/PLE

2007 November 10 - Wikiversity flyer

 * de.WV flyer:
 * I hope we can finalize the German Wikiversity flyer proposal soon (hopefully still this year :-)). Let's awaken people again.
 * edit 2007-12-16: I think today we made one big step forward towards the realization of the German WV flyer. The salutation issue was decided (will be used the masculine form, though we have still different opinions, including me). For version 2 of the flyer we can optimize again.

edit 2011-10-21:
 * for such things meeting in real life is better
 * caused too much effort
 * what happened afterwards?
 * WMF Germany produced one without any community interaction :-(
 * see Colloquium/archives/August_2011

2007 November 5 - for some people I will suffer freely :-)

 * 

2007 November 4 - no activity by users from universities, so what can we do about this?

 * de.WV recently had some edits regarding a course about Artificial Intelligence from an university. Plans were to use Wikiversity as a web platform besides the real life lecture. Unfortunately there are no edits anymore :-) So there were 2 people contacted from the team to get more feedback.
 * edit: Fast reply by the responsible persons. They will join again next year with another course. See you then.
 * Contacted also another responsible from another university who was active in April at de.WV

edit 2011-10-21:
 * the situation at de.WV in regards to universities is better now
 * though that also paralyzed the open nature of de.WV :-(

2007 November 2 - throw some chocolate into the German Wikiversity forum
...and let's see what will happen :-)

edit 2011-10-21:
 * I guess they though I'm crazy ;-)
 * as far as I remember was more positive than negative

2007 November 1 - how to revive the de:Wikiversity:Chat ?

 * how to revive the de.WV chat ?
 * Today I have included in my signature the link to the de:Wikiversity:Chat. I hope with this to increase peoples attention to it and coordinating things might get easier then. We are not so many at the moment at de.WV. I hope people can ask directly then for assistance and get others to participate in things they normally just scroll by in the Recent changes list. This is the first step, let's see if it will work.


 * edit 2008-03-17: changed my signature like this:
 * en.WV: --Erkan Yilmaz uses the Wikiversity:Chat (try)
 * de.WV: --Erkan Yilmaz benutzt den Wikiversity:Chat (versuch's mal)

edit 2011-10-21:
 * I have written at many places at de.WV + en.WV over the time + I guess this form of marketing is not so effective :-)
