Re: [Wikimedia-l] Closure of Beta Wikiversity

[Samuele Mantani]

I'm also talking about beta.Wikiversity administrator. I am opposed to this
proposal because I think it is advantageous to keep beta.Wikiversity for a
variety of reasons: to help create new Wikiversity and to have a special
project could stimulate the creation of new Wikiversity (also note that
Wikiversity is The project with less language versions). Plus having
beta.Wikiversity is easier to monitor the creation of new pages in the
various wikiversity hosts on beta.Wikiversity also the beta function is to
be a reference point for the communities of various Wikiversity in any
language (eg a few months ago there We are coordinated and decided there to
edit the Wikiversity logo) both for proposals that relate to the project
and to help individual wikiversities in introducing into original searches.
In addition, beta.Wikiversity would be the place to test experimentation on
the project or to try extensions (eg Education_Program and Quiz) all this
if beta.Wikiversity was moved to an incubator would not be possible.

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Passing of vi:User:Lê Thy

[Samuele Mantani]

I join the pain of her loved ones and her family. Rest in peace. At a time
like this, it's hard because it was one of us.I did not know him but it's
always a bad news to know the death of a Wikimedian colleague. Cancer has
overwhelmed him but we have to try to carry on the Wikimedia projects for
those who like him despite the disease have continued to believe in this
project ... the important thing is that this is not forgotten and each of
us when he does a Edit an action as an administrator ... must think of him
to take him to the heart in order to continue to make one of his passions
live, that is, Wikipedia. The wiki is that there is a huge variety of
people of different religion, but we all hope it can rest in peace.
Everyone will think to remember it differently but the important thing is
to help each one as he succeeds his loved ones. Death can not be stopped
but you can try to increase the chances of defeating cancer for example by
supporting cancer research and raising awareness.
