Hi all, hi Leo, Seth Thanks for your feedbacks! The problem with volunteers is, that they don't have them. My proposal to engage their own students for wikifying was rejected, because working in a wiki is not what they teach at this department. It is even new to the teachers themselves. I think what is needed is good software, that does the job, as all material is already on-line in HTML. As the MediaWiki wikis can read HTML, the question for us is, if we would we be ready to accept 1000 HTML-pages in WE. ( I remember I once put in one HTML-page, and Wayne finally wikified it for me, because he argued we should use wiki syntax, so that everyone would be able to deal with the source code and modify the text.) For translation, Prof. Wiesner would never be satisfied with a machine translation. The material is of high quality and should stay of high quality. Leo, the saying with the fish is absolutely right, but I think the LMU- people will only release their material, if they can convert it into a form that is ready for use, so to speak into a fish-can.
