The scope of Wikibooks could be expanded to include essays, poems, novels, etc. and not only pedagogical content (especially that we have Wikiversity who also focus on pedagogic stuff).

Then eventualy, the wikipedia article could use wikikultur arcticles as references. This would give access to authoring information (eventually anonymous/IP claims), and all avantages of a free/libre work on a wiki. For example, we may have statistics on articles, so we can check if it's not used as a reference of an over represented point of view in an wikipedia article. > > On artistics topics, I think it would really help to boost the free-libre culture movement to have a place where every artists can directly experiment what it means to share and build together, with an audience intertwinned with other mediawiki projects. > > ---- > > It looks like other proposed projects would be included in such a project, like Wikiessay (I just discovered and I'm gonna read others projects description, sorry), but others aspect don't seem - at first glance - to be covered, like artistics topics. > > Kind regards, > mathieu > > -- > Association Culture-Libre > http://www.culture-libre.org/ > > _______________________________________________ > Wikimedia-l mailing list > [email protected] > Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l
