I've worked with Steve Foerster before, I think it was at Wikieducator and Resist Copyright wasn't it Steve? Steve is a respectable guy, who I would very much value having around in Wikiversity. I don't much engage with the over all policies and politics of Wikiversity Steve. They tend to go the same way Wikieducator has from time to time. I hope you'll etch out a little project space and proceed. On 23/12/2013 4:39 AM, "Jeffrey Peters" <[email protected]> wrote:
