# [[User:Anthere|Anthere]] Comment : the project is not only about opening YET another university. Its frame is much larger.&lt;br /&gt;
#[[User:Physchim62|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.&lt;br /&gt;
#[[User:Chairboy|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 [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Chairboy#WikiTeach_idea wikipedia user page].&lt;br /&gt;
# [[User:Jacoplane|Jacoplane]] 20:51, 16 September 2005 (UTC) I was sceptical about wikinews, but since that was successful I think this might just be too.&lt;br /&gt;
# [[User:Eloquence|Eloquence]] 21:43, 16 September 2005 (UTC) (The software isn&#039;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.)&lt;br /&gt;
# [[User:Knuxus|Knuxus]] 22:54, 16 September 2005 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
# [[User:Nilsandi|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 &amp;quot;Informatik I&amp;quot; (Computer Science 1), which usually deals with introducing Java and some other basic Problems, like the &amp;quot;Halteproblem&amp;quot; and the term &amp;quot;algorithm&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;

# [[User:Marshman|Marshman]] 04:25, 17 September 2005 (UTC) I must say I find the reasons to vote &amp;quot;no&amp;quot; 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 &amp;quot;launch&amp;quot; to pretty much show the same course. But you gotta launch...&lt;br /&gt;
# [[User:4lex|4lex]] 07:57, 17 September 2005 (UTC) Participé en las pruebas en español. Dispuesto a trabajar en el proyecto.&lt;br /&gt;
# [[User:Chaos|Chaos]] 11:32, 17 September 2005 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
# [[User:Taxman|Taxman]] 13:42, 17 September 2005 (UTC) Enough potential to make a pilot worth it. I&#039;m skeptical it will work, but we&#039;ll leave that to the people passionate about it. Few thought Wikipedia would work either.&lt;br /&gt;
# [[User:Bobwinmill|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.&lt;br /&gt;
# [[User:Slehar|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!&lt;br /&gt;

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&#039;s my [[Wikiversity#Vision|vision]]..&lt;br /&gt;

#[[User:osaminha|osaminha]] 14:29, 18 September 2005 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
#[[User:Digby|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&lt;br /&gt;
#[[User:sramam|sramam]] It&#039;s an excellent idea. The experiment should definitely be tried.&lt;br /&gt;
#[[User:Alex beta|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.&lt;br /&gt;
#[[User:Fephisto|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&#039;t think of it so much as an unacredited university, as a just more focues learning format.&lt;br /&gt;

#[[User:Chun-hian|Chun-hian]] 15:52, 19 September 2005 (UTC) - Say yes to Wikiversity!&lt;br /&gt;
#[[User:Suprano|Suprano]] 17:35, 19 September 2005 (UTC) - This is a great idea. I love to see some activity in this project&lt;br /&gt;
#[[User:Eshafoshaf|Eshafoshaf]] 20:19, 19 September 2005 (UTC) This is what I have been waiting for, and now that I found it, I can&#039;t wait any longer.&lt;br /&gt;
#[[User:Masterzora|Masterzora]] 22:53, 19 September 2005 (UTC) I would love to both use and contribute to this.  They don&#039;t want it on Wikibooks, but it&#039;s too good of an idea to completely abolish.&lt;br /&gt;
#[[Boku wa Kage]] 18:15, 19 September 2005 (GMT-4)&lt;br /&gt;
# [[User:Rmrfstar|Rmrfstar]] 00:43, 20 September 2005 (UTC) - Does not belong in Wikibooks and is quite deserving of its own project.&lt;br /&gt;

#--[[User:Destrogal|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.&lt;br /&gt;
#[[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.&lt;br /&gt;
# [[User:Chlewey|Chlewey]] 09:40, 20 September 2005 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
# [[User:Purodha|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.&lt;br /&gt;
# [[user:Cidandrade|Cidandrade]] 13:31, 20 September 2005 - I hope help this wiki.&lt;br /&gt;
# [[user:Arthureisele|Arthur Eisele]] 17:48, 20 September 2005 - Wikibooks should be a subproject of Wikiversity, not the other way around.&lt;br /&gt;
# [[user:tehnakki|Nakki]] 11:20, 20 September 2005&lt;br /&gt;
#[[spitzl]] 22:30, 20 September 2005 (UTC) I think it&#039;s worth a try.&lt;br /&gt;
#[[User:Taejo|Taejo]] 21:20, 20 September 2005 (UTC): Understand concerns expressed below, but the infinite ideals of the wiki projects appeal to me.&lt;br /&gt;
#[[User:Kwhitefoot|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.&lt;br /&gt;
#[[User:Magicmonster|Magicmonster]] 23:34, 20 September 2005 (UTC) This seems like a great idea and, with enough effort put into it, could rivel wikipedia&lt;br /&gt;
#[[User:GalaxiaGuy|GalaxiaGuy]] 23:42, 20 September 2005 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;

#[[User:Michiel Sikma|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&#039;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.&lt;br /&gt;
#[[User:Alphax|Alphax]] 08:07, 21 September 2005 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
# [[User:Mattwj2002|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.&lt;br /&gt;
