  27. Ascánder 15:50, 16 September 2005 (UTC) - Interesado en participar en la versión en español.[reply]
  28. Nick1915 16:49, 16 September 2005 (UTC) io a quella italiana!!![reply]
  29. Langec 17:19, 16 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  30. Javier Carro 17:49, 16 September 2005 (UTC) Though I understand certain skepticism of those who say that it seems too early,... let's try it! lot's of people is longing for it.[reply]
  31. Anthere Comment : the project is not only about opening YET another university. Its frame is much larger.
  32. Physchim62 20:18, 16 September 2005 (UTC) Would be interest in participating in English or French. I feel that this project would be complemantary to Wikipedia, helping to improve the latter as well.[reply]
  33. Chairboy 20:49, 16 September 2005 (UTC) - Comment: I really like the idea, and have sketched out some concepts that might help spur conversation on my wikipedia user page.[reply]
  34. Jacoplane 20:51, 16 September 2005 (UTC) I was sceptical about wikinews, but since that was successful I think this might just be too.[reply]
  35. Eloquence 21:43, 16 September 2005 (UTC) (The software isn't there yet, the planning is lacking, and the name is too limiting. But the idea of building a global, free institution of learning carries an amazing potential for humankind. Giving people an official framework to develop this idea seems reasonable, especially when denying it now would likely kill it for the forseeable future.)[reply]
  36. Nilsandi 01:13, 17 September 2005 (UTC) I like the project, I would like to contribute within the Mathematics/Computer Science field of knowledge, focussing on the german project. If someone helps, I would like to prepare a set of slides and exercises for the subject "Informatik I" (Computer Science 1), which usually deals with introducing Java and some other basic Problems, like the "Halteproblem" and the term "algorithm".[reply]
  37. Marshman 04:25, 17 September 2005 (UTC) I must say I find the reasons to vote "no" that are stated below to be quite compelling. Still, these Wikimedia projects have a way of stumbling around completely clueless and then just seem to right themselves and sail into success. I expect this "launch" to pretty much show the same course. But you gotta launch...[reply]
  38. 4lex 07:57, 17 September 2005 (UTC) Participé en las pruebas en español. Dispuesto a trabajar en el proyecto.[reply]
  39. Chaos 11:32, 17 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  40. Taxman 13:42, 17 September 2005 (UTC) Enough potential to make a pilot worth it. I'm skeptical it will work, but we'll leave that to the people passionate about it. Few thought Wikipedia would work either.[reply]
  41. Bobwinmill 14:19, 17 September 2005 (UTC) The chicken or the egg? Moot point. The egg is laid, let it be hatched. Then, we will see the chicken. Be Bold, BE VERY BOLD.[reply]
  42. Slehar 15:13, 17 September 2005 (UTC) Yes! Do it! It is a very powerful idea! The current academic establishment is so ossified that we really need an alternative![reply]
    • Gryphon688 17:23 17 September 2005 (UTC)(user page is missing link to "most edited")
  43. Garrone 00:47 18 September 2005 (UTC)
  44. Cormaggio @ 00:17, 18 September 2005 (UTC) Am very interested in helping create this resource. I think the criticisms below are valid (ie. too soon, no vision) but it needs its own domain, a group of dedicated and hopefully experienced volunteers and a proper brainstorm to see what we can really do with it - what an opportunity! Here's my vision..[reply]

    • Digby I think the notion of an anarchic University whose identity will depend only on the quality of the ideas that it transmits is excellent although its success will require major effort from some dedicated people(user page is missing link to "most edited")
    • sramam It's an excellent idea. The experiment shoulddefinitely be tried.
  47. Alex beta 19:11, 18 September 2005 (UTC) I am interested in participating. I have already been working in the School of Philosophy in Wikibooks.[reply]
    • Fephisto 18:56, 18 September 2005 I have learned so much from Wikiversity, and letting it have the ability to spread into video format, etc., is pretty exciting. I actually don't think of it so much as an unacredited university, as a just more focues learning format.(user page is missing link to "most edited")
  48. YolanC 00:13, 19 September 2005 (UTC) -- intéressé par une version française (interested)[reply]
  49. 555 02:15, 19 September 2005 (UTC) - I need to help in portuguese language version.[reply]
  50. Super1 06:48, 19 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  51. Jb-adder 08:17, 19 September 2005 (UTC) I'd love to work on the course creation side of things for Wikiversity, especially the mathematics and computer science end of it.[reply]
    • Hannibal 07:12, 19 September 2005 (AUT)(user page is missing link to "most edited")
  52. MMSequeira 10:32, 19 September 2005 (UTC) Excellent idea[reply]
  53. Blakwolf 12:07, 19 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  54. Chun-hian 15:52, 19 September 2005 (UTC) - Say yes to Wikiversity![reply]
  55. Rmrfstar 00:43, 20 September 2005 (UTC) - Does not belong in Wikibooks and is quite deserving of its own project.[reply]
  56. ~Amish 03:35, 20 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  57. Taichi - (^_^) 06:38, 20 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  58. Destrogal 07:09, 20 September 2005 (UTC) -- The vision is there, but there is a great need to make the wiki-professors feel like they should contribute to this cause. As of right now, I do not see any cause for this. There is no ultimate goal. What need be told is that, as wiki-professors, you are not only creating a text in some instances, but you are also creating a course. That is, you are creating lectures, demonstrations, and assignments. You are discussing topics and not simply letting your course sit for days.[reply]
  59. Martin.Wiki 08:50, 20 September 2005 (UTC) - There is already quite a lot of material for lectures and exercises on the web. It is though possible to encourage people to contribute. Wikiversity would help to provide an easier access to scientific material for educational purposes. (not signed with wikimedia user)
  60. Chlewey 09:40, 20 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  61. Purodha Blissenbach 11:01, 20 September 2005 (UTC) - I do not expect accredition to be a problem at medium sight. We shall find corroborators in existing universities and academia. Some are even eager to jump start new traits of teaching. Apparent organizational/technical success of Wikipedia imho attracts institutions to link into well defined Wikversity projects with their own ressources and support. I want to see this as an experiment to grow over the next 10 years, then maybe re-evaluate Questions such as credits etc. internationally.[reply]
    • Cidandrade 13:31, 20 September 2005 - I hope help this wiki.
  62. Arthur Eisele 17:48, 20 September 2005 - Wikibooks should be a subproject of Wikiversity, not the other way around.
  63. Nakki 11:20, 20 September 2005
    • spitzl 22:30, 20 September 2005 (UTC) I think it's worth a try.(not signed with wikimedia user)
  64. Taejo 21:20, 20 September 2005 (UTC): Understand concerns expressed below, but the infinite ideals of the wiki projects appeal to me.[reply]
  65. Kwhitefoot 21:47, 20 September 2005 (UTC): A qualified yes. I just hope that what is intended is a University and not yet another vocational training system. Accreditation should not be attempted, it will only drain energy and time away from the real work of a University which is education not training.[reply]
  66. Magicmonster 23:34, 20 September 2005 (UTC) This seems like a great idea and, with enough effort put into it, could rivel wikipedia[reply]
  67. GalaxiaGuy 23:42, 20 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
    • splintax (talk) 04:41, 21 September 2005 (UTC) Sounds like a great idea.(not signed with wikimedia user)[reply]
    • Michiel Sikma 08:01, 21 September 2005 (UTC) Sure is early, but if you kickstart this project and nurture it carefully during the first six months, you'll surely be able to at least build a proper foundation for when the project reaches its maturing stages. Software enhancements to MediaWiki can be made after there has been created a reason to. For that reason, I vote yes.[reply]
  68. Alphax 08:07, 21 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  69. Mattwj2002 12:02, 21 September 2005 (UTC) I think it is important for people to easily self educate, to help with humality projects like educating people in Africa, and to give teachers a tool that can help in the classroom. I believe that this proposal could really help make this a better world.[reply]

    • ajdlinux 06:52 Australia/NSW, 23 September 2005 Great idea!
  73. Mydotnet 02:14, 23 September 2005 (UTC) I would say to put the resources to wikibooks, but voting yes is the lesser of two evils[reply]

  77. La ratica 17:30, 23 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  78. Rovenhot 19:05, 23 September 2005 (UTC) I think free materials for educators and students would be an excellent idea, as long as the materials were well-developed.[reply]
  79. Greenman 23:09, 23 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  80. Elhoim 06:53, 24 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  81. T5Rgtv 19:05, 23 September 2005 (UTC) I think this could revolutionise human knowledge ditribution and learning techniques.[reply]
  82. WiseWoman 19:55, 24 September 2005 (UTC) I don't think that this will be any sort of revolution - I've been in eLearning too long to believe the hype. But I am devoted to openContent, so I want open eLearning materials! I think it's an excellent idea even without accreditation.[reply]
  83. Lilka 00:50, 25 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  84. Serveracim 00.40 25 September 2005 (GMT +02) tr I'm interested in collaborating with this project, especially the Turkish version. I am a music teacher at the Malatya-Inonu University-TURKEY. I've published my lesson notes in my Personal Page. So, I tested the result about the interest of my students. They are really interested. I want to create online lesson pages in this enviroment. I want to join to the educator's team. This is a huge chance for me. (Ben bu projeyi tüm kalbimle destekliyorum. Ders notlarimi bu sayfalarda yayinlamak isterim.)
  85. Lilka 00:50, 25 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  86. Matt Yeager 05:21, 25 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  87. Romihaitza 11:18, 25 September 2005 (UTC) I agree with the fact that we must have strong projects and we must work to thowse we already have but this is a great idea which can add more users to sister projects also.[reply]

  99. Roger Gianni 19:14, 27 Septembris 2005 (UTC), Optime
  100. Hardern 20:05, 27 September 2005 (UTC) definitely yes - this is one of the most extraordinary projects I have ever seen, although not already developed enough to look like it ;) the idea of free education for ANYONE fascinates me, and we should do it![reply]
  101. Risk 21:12, 27 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  106. Ryan524 02:24, 29 September 2005 (UTC) -- I support wikiversity as an addition to wikibooks but I don't think it should be a seperate project.[reply]
  107. S.rice 5:02, 29 September 2005 (UTC) I think that this could be a good idea.
  108. Gkhan 08:49, 29 September 2005 (UTC) extreme heterosexual support. The details can only be worked out within the scope of the project itself. If people had said wikipedia didn't have any clear goals before it started, well, i do not dare think of it Gkhan 08:49, 29 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  109. Malafaya 15:26, 29 September 2005 (UTC) I'm looking forward to it! It's like a dream coming true :)[reply]
  110. Toothpaste 20:40, 29 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  111. Andre (talk) 01:48, 30 September 2005 (UTC) Strangely appealing idea.[reply]
    • sais72 (talk<*/font>) 9:13, 30 September 2005 (UTC) good idea(user page is missing link to "most edited - did you realy thing I would not spot the red link?")

    • porao (responder) 13:59, 30 September 2005 (UTC). es: project
    • Benbakelaar 14:27, 30 September 2005 (UTC) I think it says it all in the first paragraph "After 6 months the board will review the progress of these pilots and determine if they should become beta projects". This is a 6 month pilot and so I think the points brought up in the No votes are not really so applicable.[reply]

    • Akir - I was wondering if wikibooks would ever get some structure! I wonder what will happen about forming classes though...
  116. Vardhan - Sounds like a good idea. The pilot period should help us know the feasibility/success, and generate a stronger conceptual and technological foundation. On face value the proposal looks exciting in its wiki aspects and also because its not 100% clear and will emerge in true Wiki style.
    • L0ne We can change the world with something like this! Keep up the good work, Legion of Wikipedians! - 11:51 1 October 2005 (CET)
  117. Platonides I think this is a good project, although hard to made (probably as any in the beginnings create an encyclopedia?? how many people though it impossible?) and i myself wonder how could i help on it - 11:16, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

  121. Roberth 03:47, 2 October 2005 (UTC) I hope everybody realizes that this is a vote for all languages, not just English. I don't think the objections to getting this project going are sufficient to derail what is happening either, although I do agree that there needs to be more organization and coming up with some real classes. The main point is that Wikiversity needs to get on its own high-profile project and end the past couple of years of stagnation that it has seen so far.[reply]
  122. Why not? Let's Try.Truth 03:54, 2 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  123. Let's get this rolling ASAP. There are too many illiterates on web anyways...imagine one of those coming by, and deciding to learn something new in life! GO WIKIVERSITY!
  124. Sj An idea with great energy; it is incomplete now, but will draw in new and very dedicated contributors from outside of the wikiverse. This will not be a zero-sum shifting of the attention of current Wikimedians. aduni attracted amazing attention for its efforts at a free-content university, but was not collaborative enough to make use of that attention... we will do better.
  125. Ral315 00:02, 3 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  126. Klaus Heinisch 09:30, 3 October (UTC): Wikiversity maybe the keystone of the great wikipedia-building. Years ago i planned and thougt about something like wikipedia and wikiversity. Then wikipedia cames along and destroyed my small vision, replacing it by a greater one. Education has to become radically reformed to help us, keeping the world a liveable place...

  129. Vipuser 07:33, 5 October 2005 (UTC) we can build labs in Wikiversity[reply]
  130. X1987x 21:08, 5 October 2005 (UTC) i hope i have a high wiki GPA![reply]
  131. Lincher 00:00, 6 October 2005 (UTC) Bonne idée. Tenter d'implémenter une banque de textes qui se rapportent à l'école et ainsi faciliter le travail des étudiants en classe en ayant d'autres livres de référence, j'y crois. Bravo pour cette initiative.[reply]
  132. cache Wikibooks and Wikipedia provide great material. But to really learn things you need more - a place like wikiversity. It's the next big step. I am going to support this project.
  133. quiliro 18:00, 6 October 2005 (UTC) Puedo colaborar con ayuda. No soy catedrático pero puedo convencer a muchos a aportar.[reply]
  134. PabloBD Let's give it a try
  135. Irmgard 13:41, 7 October 2005 (UTC) Collaboration in English / Mitarbeit in Deutsch depending on subject[reply]
  136. Mark Elliott 05:41, 10 Oct 2005 (UTC) I'm very much for the project - it is the next step in providing education free to the world. I would also be happy to create a course - or two... I could also see wikiversity being useful for courses that no longer have a home in the institution for whatever reason - i.e. budget cuts etc - and are languishing without students.
  137. ∞Who?¿? 14:36, 10 October 2005 (UTC) I think it is a good project, and will help the already booming community. Some of the comments of getting Wikibooks further along should be heeded, but should not hinder the start of the project.[reply]
  138. Liblamb 17:40, 10 October 2005 (UTC) Let's try and see.[reply]
  139. Titoxd 03:56, 11 October 2005 (UTC). Who needs a degree? All we need is for someone to want to learn, someone to want to teach, and a place to make both meet. Wikiversity would be the place.[reply]

    • howeman 21:42, 12 October 2005 (EST) Even if you can't get a capacity to test and grade people, even having pages designed to teach people subjects is a great idea, and will enhance the other Wikipedia projects. Reading an article about String Theory can be very complex, but if you can follow a logical progression of courses, you can eventually teach it to yourself. Having pages designed to teach information and not just spill it out is the very essense of what I think Wikipedia should be. Not just a place to dish out information, but a place to promote unerstanding and learning.
