just to give more information..let me share the project: I'm from Brazil and we are starting a project to share knowledge between people and create an open source, free and nonprofit e-learning social network. So, we are all volunteers.
The whole concept of the project is that knowledge should be an universal right, and there's no reason why a boy who lives in a slam, in rio, for example, not to have access to the same knowledge as a boy who is at MIT, for example. Ok,.. right now, there's me more a group of people working as volunteers on this platform. basically, the system today is being built on PHP with my SQL and we have tried to implement mediawiki as a way to allow people to interact with each other.. the main problems are.. content are split mainly in 3 groups on the internet 1) academics (harvard, mit, yale, cambridge, khan academy courses online etc) 2) users (youtube videos with lectures, people trying to teach something, tutorials) 3) articles - published and non published so we need 1) to create ways for people to feed a database with their own inputs on these 3 groups 2) to organize and categorize this information in a automatic way (a crawler, tags, some index system) 3) to enable "social translation" into each video - and this is very important.. 4) to enable users to share their own material 5) to enable users to connect with each other and solve doubts in common (and create a trend topics on that), create users communities to discuss academics topics and so on.. there are more features, but basically that's what we have in mind - and we're looking for people to help on the project. If it works, we can help a lot of people who don't have access to formal education and don't necessarily speak English. We've got already some good partnerships with some organizations, and an agreement with Stanford for them to use our translations on Youtube and iTunes U if we be able to do it.. Well, that's it. I'm not Bono, but I hope it works my propaganda. On Sat, Jun 18, 2011 at 06:28, Phillipe, Eros <[email protected]> wrote: > yeah, we have an alpha version online, but with no functionalities..
