User:Rastignac~enwikiversity

My name is David Bloom, and I've been around for quite a while. Years ago I was a student of linguistics, in Buffalo, New York, and I still am, but I haven't got a place to be a student at; I have a research project in mind that I'd like to work out in the open and hypertextually--i.e., in a Wiki environment. Wikiversity is an especially nice place for me in that the School of Linguistics is such a neglected piece of real estate anyway and I could help landscape it a little. Wikiversity is a problematic place in that the official ethos of the Wikimedia in general, with its emphasis on properly documented authority, so marvelous in the way in works in Wikipedia (to which I contribute an edit every once in a while), is not quite right for a university, which needs questioning and experimentation. I have a couple of ideas about that, too, which I hope to be exploring.--Rastignac 02:30, 13 September 2010 (UTC)
