You don't need to be an educator to edit. You only need to be bold to contribute and to experiment with the sandbox or your userpage. See you around Wikiversity! --Abd 02:39, 13 August 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for your confidence
I see that you have registered an account here and have designated me as a proxy. I have accepted. I assume this is because of your prior interest in Delegable Proxy and because you know me though my work on that. Welcome to Wikiversity, this place can grow on you, because it is truly possible to develop deep educational resources without the struggle involved in doing anything that doesn't just regurgitate "reliable secondary sources" on Wikipedia. Wikiversity is far more like an academic environment than like an encyclopedia. I hope you will consider developing resources in areas of interest to you. --Abd 02:58, 13 August 2011 (UTC)


 * Thanks Abd, I'm still exploring for a fit at this point. My work is mostly on the practical side these days, and not easy to document.  See my full reply.  ~Michael Allantalk  04:40, 14 August 2011 (UTC)
