Talk:Wiki training

Initial chat from Talk:Grants/IFAP

Okay, so how about a more general goal: I really like the idea of people giving courses about Wikipedia at libraries and universities. They shouldn't be only talking about Wikipeadia, but also about wikis in general. What other wikis are out there, how can people use them for research and how can they participate? How can people start their own wikis, on the internet or intranet, and what recommendations can we give them (technically and community-wise)? I'm working on such a course concept myself at the moment, and would help organising such a project in Germany. --Kurt Jansson 09:19, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Developing such a project is certainly more important than applying for a particular grant. Courses on wikis, free licensing, and Wikipedia (and other large communities); also how these tools and communities can be used for collaborative research, and for preserving local cultural information, documents, minority languages. And meta-courses to help people start giving such courses. How about using Wiki training for more? +sj+ 14:52, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)
