[edit] Arguments in favour

There is an active internet community supporting open research and open education called Tutkimusparvi - The Research Swarm also active in the Finnish Wikiversity
Three Finnish academic institutions have organized courses in the Finnish Wikiversity
The Finnish Wikiversity organizes study projects and activities and is thus completely different from Wikibooks
- the structure on the main page is based on different types of study activities instead of different disciplines
- there are several ongoing study circles and courses
- the Finnish Wikiversity even has a students' association band called WOLO
Stadia together with Tutkimusparvi is applying for funding to organize a big learning project in Finnish Wikiversity. All it's learning material will be published in the Finnish Wikiversity. The course will be open for anyone to participate.
