Hi Juan, Rob and She (and Rick) and sporadic Universitians, 

Here is an archive.org version of World University and School MediaWiki - https://web.archive.org/web/20150324001526/http://worlduniversityandschool.org/mediawiki-1.24.1/index.php?title=Main_Page - which I created this spring to give you an idea where I'm heading with it ... and which would eventually be coded with Wikidata and machine learning, and in all languages.

I'd like to facilitate good communication between us as a WUaS IT Development Team and anticipating machine learning in Wikidata, in terms of a kind of WUaS Wikidata Prototype. (S and I may become UC Berkeley iSchool fellows to develop this further also).

Juan and I have been texting about this some in terms of developing WUaS in MediaWiki: Yes, Juan, let's wait to hear back from Wikidata friends. As a start, however, planners and designers can also just look at the SUBJECT TEMPLATE - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/SUBJECT_TEMPLATE - and Wikia WUaS and build out from there in WUaS MediaWiki ... 

So there will be a little bit of a dance with WUaS, MediaWiki, your installation of MediaWiki for becoming acquainted with it, Juan, and the Wikidata folks timing-wise, but whatever the sequence of roll out, could I possibly please get access again to WUaS MediaWiki in the next while to begin developing it further? 

Thank you, All, 

Scott

Many students were around at UC Berkeley yesterday university was in session, but it's changed a lot since the 1960s and '70s! The radicalism of Berkeley is only in the woodwork (and maybe in some of the laws too), but it is a great and high achieving university.

*
I walked to UC Berkeley yesterday (from south Berkeley) to index edit my Harbin book - http://www.scottmacleod.com/ActualVirtualHarbinBook.html - and re connecting and collaborating with Cal and all of UC about World University and School - http://worlduniversityandschool.org - and it's a beautiful campus too.

I made it through p200 of 440 pp in my Harbin indexing/editing process and drafted a proposal to University of Toronto Press, which is ready to email, probably on Sunday, all from the UC Berkeley Free Speech cafe. The UoT Press's executive editor knows Berkeley Professor emeritus NG which I think will be good. Will probably also email AM, a youngish MD and the PR person at Harbin (who went to UC Berkeley and whose parents worked as HR there and are lawyers) to inquire about donating some of my Harbin book's royalties in exchange for using 100ish Harbin photos.

Interesting how Berkeley's Free Speech cafe is an outgrowth, with much history as part of the decor, of the 1960s, and in the Moffitt undergraduate library.

Dear Will (UC Berkeley Law School), 

Google just emailed this today to worlduniversityandschool@gmail.com, which account "manages" this sgkmacleod@worlduniversityandschool.org (and so far only two other) email(s) as well as World University in Google Apps and Google Classroom+, which Google Education Apps WUaS got for free some months ago. WUaS is impressed with Google and would like to develop in Google as well as in CC Wikidata/Wikibase and in other ways. But WUaS would also like in particular to remain in control of WUaS's database of end users "You at World University" - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/You_at_World_University - still in its infancy (for Bookstore, Fundraising, Academic Press, Manpower/Language Power Jobs' site, etc. in all 7,941 languages and 259 countries), but also perhaps engage Google plus, for example. 

I've copied the two additional agreements from today into a Word document - the 1) Data Processing Amendment and 2) EU Model Contract Clauses - that Google is suggesting WUaS "Click to Review and Accept" (https://admin.google.com/AdminHome?pli=1&fral=1#CompanyProfile:flyout=profile and https://support.google.com/a/answer/2888485?hl=en), and am attaching this. 

Before clicking "Review and Accept" and in preparation for your UC Berkeley Law "New Business Practicum" seminar - and especially even with you as possible General Counsel at World University and School (if you might be interested) -I wonder if you might like to look at these documents, the significance of which I'm not entirely clear about - and from the perspective of all 200 countries - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Nation_States - in which WUaS is planning to offer online CC university and high school degrees, as well as do business. 

Also in a related vein, and in terms of WUaS's 9 planned revenue streams - http://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/2015/09/wuass-business-model-update-creative.html - I found Larry Lessig and Yochai Benkler's Creative Commons' Global Summit keynotes from yesterday evening from Seoul, both Korea helpful which video with minute markers you'll find here - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2015/10/snowy-owl-creative-commons-global.html. In particular I found Yochai's "grid" at 1:09:30 in this video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0gymWQg6kN8 - a helpful conceptual framework for conceiving of how to divide WUaS's Creative Commons' core revenue streams (ie open, decentralized & non-market per "grid") ... from WUaS's planned commercial revenue streams (centralized & market oriented) as a start.  

Would you be willing please to share you legal guidance about these documents in conjunction with unfolding IT and other development strategies for World University which initial steps I can further clarify if needed. Might it be best to meet and talk further about this with you in your office? 

Larry Lessig's and Yochai Benkler's Creative Commons' Global Summit Korea keynotes are fascinating. 

 

Thank you. 

Sincerely, 

Scott

Hi Scott,

I'm Sato who you met in the cafe on Berkeley campus!
It was nice meeting you! Let me know if you need any help for Japanese related things (at Japan World University and School)! I'll help you as much as possible.

By the way, do you have any recommendation for books to read? I'm interested in philosophy or life.

Best

Sato,

*

Hi Sato!

Very nice to get your email, and thank you for your email. And very nice to meet you, as well! 

It will be fun to develop Japan World University and School http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Japan and Japanese_language WUaS http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Japanese_language together and in Japanese together. 

What philosophy or life books would you recommend? 

a

For philosophy or life, the first enjoyable book that came to mind is the Tao te Ching translated into English around 1972 by Gia-fu Feng, and by Jane English, who took the beautiful photographs. 

Here are some other versions: 

http://acc6.its.brooklyn.cuny.edu/~phalsall/texts/taote-v3.html

http://terebess.hu/english/tao/_index.html

b

Harvard's

Willard Van Orman Quine "The Web of Belief" (focusing on knowing vis-a-vis science and reason) was written as an introduction to philosophy.

c

Thomas Nagel's "What Does It All Mean? A Very Short Introduction to Philosophy"

http://sjmse-library.sch.ng/E-Books%20Phil/WHAT%20DOES%20IT%20ALL%20MEAN_.pdf

I also find fascinating Tom Nagel's seminal paper on consciousness "What is it like to be a bat?"
http://organizations.utep.edu/portals/1475/nagel_bat.pdf

d

There's an implicit philosophy of eliciting loving bliss neurophysiology in my blog - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/loving%20bliss - and you'll also find a kind of philosophy in my Friends' Dalton letter - http://scottmacleod.com/daltonletter.htm.

e

Quaker Meeting (there's one in Tokyo as well - http://tokyofriendscenter.org/welcome/) in many ways allows one to listen to and share one's own philosophy with Friends in the context of a kind of meditation / sitting in silence, in the unprogrammed tradition. Would you like to come to Quaker Meeting in SF on Sunday November 8th which meets near Japan Town actually? I find this Nobel Peace Prize address to Quakers - http://www.nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/peace/laureates/1947/press.html - inspiring and expressing a kind of philosophy.

Best, 

Scott

Hi Claudia (and Thom),

CC World University and School would like to donate CC WUaS to CC Wikidata and would like to come into conversation with you about this, if possible, as well. Given your interests, Claudia -

I am an assistant professor for Web Science/Human-Centered Computing at the Institute of Computer Science at Free University of Berlin. My research focuses on collaborative knowledge collections that provide a unique research environment for studying existing interdependencies between people’s participation processes (the social system), the employed software (the technical system) and the collectively created artefact (the knowledge system). 

By unfolding existing design parameters of these systems, we can design more effective collaborative knowledge creation and learning processes and build new software that augment human cognition by computation. For this, I combine insights from various areas such as computational network analysis, data mining, human-computer interaction, information visualization, knowledge management and the semantic web. 

Current fields of application are especially in the area of digital humanities, collaborative ontology development, and digital learning. (http://www.clmb.de and https://www.mi.fu-berlin.de/inf/groups/hcc)

I wonder how we might best come into further conversation about all of this, especially given your interest in "digital humanities, collaborative ontology development, and digital learning." For example, might we co-develop approaches to studying learning, academically, rigorously and longitudinally, at World University & School for free CC degrees inter- lingually especially?

In a broad sense, given your focus on "people’s participation processes (the social system), the employed software (the technical system) and the collectively created artefact (the knowledge system)" how would CC MIT OCW in 7 languages in Wikidata with students partly taking seminars with live faculty in Google + group video Hangouts articulate with the approach you are studying?

These latter approaches are basically what World University is planning for accredited degrees (i.e. Bachelor, Ph.D., law and MD, as well as IB high school). Would the Google Hangouts (and eventually a film realistic 3D build-able interactive virtual earth as classroom - e.g. Google Streetview/Maps/Earth with OpenSim and SL - and eventually with brainwave headsets for brain research) be the social system, the CC MIT OCW in 7 languages (and eventually in most countries' main languages) be the technical system and Wikidata be the developing collectively created artefact (the knowledge system). This seems so on first glance.

Would you like to video conference about this at some point?

Claudia also, importantly, gave a talk as a professor (listed here http://www.clmb.de) on Wikidata in San Francisco in August 2015:

• 08/2015 Talk at OpenSym Peer-production system or collaborative ontology engineering effort: What is Wikidata?, San Francisco (USA).

Here's an abstract of this talk:
http://www.opensym.org/2015/07/22/peer-production-system-or-collaborative-ontology-engineering-effort-what-is-wikidata/

*

The above is exciting, and a kind of breakthrough, for planning and collaborating to develop WUaS in Wikidata in terms of machine learning, studying how students learn inter lingually in exchange for free CC degrees, and in terms of creative collective coding of Wikidata (now in about 300 languages) among many many other reasons.

*

Developments emerging from the above will eventually be added here - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/WUaS_Information_Technologies_and_Data_Plan - including probably this blog post.

Low hanging clouds,
valleys both sides,
light grey  stills  the space
between the hills
on this glistening morn.

Four ridge lines east,
near-pristine California mountains,
beyond the valley cloud
I do observe
which now rises, settles,
drifts on, tucks in and down ~
it fits perfectly in its hollow.

The cloud on the other side,
to the west,
in the valley d'Canyon,
above the post office and school,
settles deeper, lowers,
Taoist water dragon of vapor,
sleeping, lumbering, hunkering,
a long water form
between the green of the trees
of the valley on each side.

What is that song "All through the night?,"
but on this day, this jubilant light-filled morn!

The clouds, on both sides,
whisper themselves away,
and I take some photos.

Hi Thom, 

Thanks again for your great coding of SimFin - https://twitter.com/SimFinOfficial - and vis-a-vis Wikidata!

Eventually, my question will be how to build into Wikidata, as a developing Artificial Intelligence database to World University and School's related subjects (using this SUBJECT TEMPLATE - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/SUBJECT_TEMPLATE - in MediaWiki/Wikidata/Wikibase) with much MIT OCW - 

Economics - 

http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Economics

Finance - 

http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Finance

Banking and Money - 

http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Banking_and_Money - 

financial data like you've created - 

in all Nation States' main Languages - 

http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Nation_States -

http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Languages -

beginning perhaps with English,
http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/English_language

Spanish (in Spanish) and
http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Spanish_language

Mandarin Chinese (in Mandarin)
http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Mandarin_language_(Chinese)


in financial markets in the

USA (in USA World University and School),
http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/United_States_of_America

Spain (in Spain World University and School - planned in Spanish)
http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Spain and

China (in China World University and School - planned in Mandarin & all Chinese languages),
http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/China


and perhaps in conjunction with 

MIT OCW in English

http://ocw.mit.edu/index.htm

MIT OCW in Spanish

http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/translated-courses/spanish/

MIT OCW in Traditional Chinese

http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/translated-courses/traditional-chinese/

and particularly for matriculated students, both undergraduate and Ph.D., eventually in many countries' large languages, anticipating machine learning developments in SPARQL and OWL.

But now my question is, have you explored Q items in Wikidata in Spanish and Chinese to parallel the Q item for financial data you used in English for SimFin (or parallel inter-lingual processes in Wikidata, perhaps in languages you know)?

Best regards, 

Scott

Dear Scott,

Your TSWG talk is in just 2 weeks (on F, Nov. 6 at 5pm in the UC Berkeley Anthropology Building's Gifford Room)!

Can you please send us:

Title:

Naked Harbin, Ethno-Wiki-Virtual-World-Graphy: Sharing a New Digital Methodology with Tourism Studies and Science & the Social Sciences

Abstract:

Emerging from the University of Toronto Press's publishing of Marshall McLuhan's "The Gutenberg Galaxy" in 1962, as well as UC Berkeley Professor Manuel Castell's book "The Internet Galaxy" (Oxford 2001) which comes into conversation with McLuhan's book, I suggest here that a virtual Harbin / virtual earth / virtual universe in Google Streetview/Maps/Earth with OpenSim/SL, as wiki and for STEM research, especially ethnography too, which is explicitly explored in my actual/virtual Harbin anthropological book, will lead beyond McLuhan and Castell's thinking to a new film-realistic 3D interactive build-able wiki-informed virtual earth galaxy.

Bio paragraph:

Scott MacLeod's research focuses on the anthropology of information technology and counterculture.  He's written an ethnographic book about Harbin Hot Springs in northern California, with a virtual world aspect,  due to be published by ... in 2016.
http://www.scottmacleod.com/ActualVirtualHarbinBook.html

He's the founder, president, CEO, faculty member and presiding clerk of wiki CC World University and School (which is like CC Wikipedia with best STEM Creative Commons' licensed OpenCourseWare and planning to accredit on CC MIT OCW in 7 languages and CC Yale OYC - http://worlduniversityandschool.org).

Personal web site: http://ww.scottmacleod.com

Scott continues to teach "Information Technology, the Network Society and the Global University" regularly on Harvard's virtual Island (not on Harvard University's faculty) in Second Life, and in Google group video Hangouts. He's teaches both anthropology and sociology.

Here are some "exigencies of being human" resources re John Money and theorizing psychology  - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2015/05/swiss-mountains-dr-paul-moncayo.html ... and re Jacques Lacan, this is a fascinating video of him from around 1970 in Belgium - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=31iQQTPY-kA - (from whose theory I depart from in terms of psychodynamic theory) and re primatology (and by extension evolutionary biology, which is also a blog label here). There are such "holes" in psychological theory in general, in terms of effective psychotherapy, and which are further complicated by socioeconomics' questions - and especially re psychodynamic theory) and re primatology (and by extension evolutionary biology, which is also a blog label here), and also Friends' hospitals, and subculture questions.

I'll explore a translation of the ancient Greek you sent with Wally!

Scott

Cloud alights in the
vale to the east,
with delight,
while Canyon's
visibile ridge with
forest, to the west,
is graced with morning orange.

Illuminated cloud,
in its vale to the east,
glows in pink gray.
Beautiful morning orange,
on western vale side,
diffuses to light,
while its closer forest side,
remains quietly subdued.

To the east, the
Taoist water dragon form's
inner light intensifies,
with vapors along its top,
wisping and moving, the water
dragon's spine ridge alive
with little crests and plumes.
The Canyon valley to west,
above post office and school,
proclaims its steady forestedness
in the growing morning light.

The eastern vale
grows with light of day,
its friendly cloud form
sinking down, merging
in oneness with its hollow,
disappearing as the day warms,
glowing and hovering.

Greet the morn,
Welcome the day,
My mother is visiting the Bay.
Time to explore and
travel together
to Point Reyes.

UWAS Universal Translator -

Dear Prof. Englert,

Greetings from the SF Bay Area (Canyon, actually, near St. Mary's in Moraga). I hope this finds you well. A friend of mine, Scot Campbell in SF, who has just completed two films asked me recently how best to translate this passage from ancient Greek from Electra for a project he's developing. (I went to Reed from 1979-1985 and was a housemate of Reed Dance Professor Carla Mann for some years).

Here's the passage from Electra that we want to translate, with the metaphor intact.  Thanks!

"ALL OUTOI TON GEX AIDA PANGKOINOU LIMNAS PATER ANSTASEIS OUTE GOOIS OUTE EUXAIS"

Google Translate suggests "THE OTHER he GEX THESE PANGKOINOU stagnation Father ANSTASEIS NOR NOR EFCHAIS GOOUS" :)

And World University and School's Universal Translator - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/WUaS_Universal_Translator - is still in the planning stages, as we prepare to donate CC WUaS to CC Wikidata, the inter-lingual database written for Wikipedia's now 300 languages.

Could you possibly please suggest a translation or online resource for translating this with metaphor intact? Thank you. 

Best regards,

Scott

* 

Dear Scott,

Thanks for the note.  I’m glad to hear your in the Bay Area.  Canyon is beautiful - I got to know it when I was an undergraduate there in the 70s.

The line you mention is from Sophocles’ Electra, lines 137-139

The Greek is:  

ἀλλ᾽ οὔτοι τόν γ᾽ ἐξ Ἀΐδα
παγκοίνου λίμνας πατέρ᾽ ἀν-
στάσεις οὔτε γόοισιν οὔτ᾽ εὐχαῖς. 

A good translation of the lines is that of Richard Jebb (available on the Perseus website):

"But never by weeping nor by prayer will you resurrect your father from the pool of Hades which receives all men.”

I hope this helps!

Yours,

Wally

*

Dear Wally,

Thanks so much. I'll pass on this helpful translation to my friend Scot. As an anthropologist and having lived in Canyon for nearly 7 years now, I'm curious what you might have gotten to know about Canyon. What was it like then?

As a kind of associated benefit from learning of this helpful translation ( http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus%3Atext%.01.0188 ) and also as a kind of brainstorm in planning and in thinking through a WUaS Universal Translator with this ancient Greek to English example, it would be fascinating to add to an U.T. a hypothetical 10 translations of "Electra," with all of their interpretations of multiple metaphors in this play, derive a set of rules and vocabulary from these translations, synthesize these rules into the Universal Translator (perhaps in CC Wikidata written for Wikipedia's ~300 languages), and then use these rules with developing machine learning to generate further Ancient Greek > English translations.

Thanks again so much.

Yours,

Scott

Scot ... I appreciate too the opportunity now to connect further with Wally about the Hum 101 course World University and School would like to offer to all matriculating students online beginning in 2017, building on Reed College's required first year Hum 110 course (about the ancient Greek and Roman worlds and thinking) which Reed has taught nearly a century, and where the Conference Method (http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Conference_Method_of_Teaching_and_Learning) is also taught, an approach to learning which will probably be central at WUaS. Wally is a kind of head of it, since he teaches classics, and has been at Reed for so long.

Cheers,

Scott

At Lydia's suggestion to write this, here too in the following blog link is "World University and School's proposal to prepare to donate WUaS to Wikidata September 2015, World University Realistic Detailed Proposal as a Set of Instructions," a proposal for donating CC World University and School, planned in all 7,941+ languages as wiki schools, as well as WUaS universities (offering Bachelor, Ph.D., Law and M.D. degrees as well as I.B. high school diplomas), and accrediting on CC MIT OCW in 7 languages and CC Yale OYC to begin, planned online in all - 200 countries' main languages, for Wikidata's 3rd birthday - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2015/10/asian-black-bear-world-university-and.html. Law Schools, Medical Schools and related accredited great universities, planned in all countries' main languages, are therefore part of this donation. STEM-centric World University and School seeks to become the Harvard of the Internet in all 7,941+ languages and accredited in all ~259+ countries.

You'll also find this WUaS-Wikidata realistic proposal here in GDocs - https://docs.google.com/document/d/1n02XHzbTE8rY14p-ei6WSNtCQZ8AYscgwI6ncMXolpo/edit?usp=sharing - where I'm continuing to add further resources.

Is there a way to turn this donation into a Wikipedia entry even eventually, Lydia? Thank you!

I look forward to further celebrations of Wikidata's 3rd birthday with you, everyone and Wikidatans. Cheers!

Happy birthday, Wikidata! :)

Best regards, Scott

[Wikidata] Happy 3rd Birthday, Wikidata!

Lydia Pintscher via lists.wikimedia.org	4:29 PM (21 hours ago)
to Discussion, Wikimedia

Hey everyone :)

Today we are celebrating Wikidata's 3rd birthday. I've been with the
project since we started development 3.5 years ago and I can't believe
what a ride it has been and how far we've come.

As for every birthday celebrations are in order. We've created a page
at https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Third_Birthday. There you
can find editorials (by Harmonia Amanda, Ash Crow and me) about the
past year and what is coming. Please take a moment to read it. There
you will also find a section for congratulations and wishes, presents
and more.

Here's to many more years of Wikidata. Stay as awesome as you are!


Cheers
Lydia


PS: The development team has presents as well. I'll send an email
about them in a few hours. Ohhh the suspense :D

The Tourism Studies Working Group is pleased to announce

NAKED HARBIN AND ETHNO-WIKI-VIRTUAL-WORLD-GRAPHY:
Sharing a New Digital Methodology with Tourism Studies,
Science & the Social Sciences

Scott MacLeod
(Founder, World University and School)

Friday, Nov. 6, 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM
Gifford Room, 221 Kroeber Hal
University of California, Berkeley

Abstract:
In this paper, I characterize Ethno-Wiki-Virtual-World-Graphy as a new digital methodology for tourism studies, science & the social Sciences in relation to my upcoming Harbin Hot Springs Actual/Virtual Ethnography: "Naked Harbin: Hippies, Warm Pools, Counterculture & Clothing-Optional, Virtual Harbin." I further examine the significance of this in relation to my tourism studies' paper from 2001 "Gazing at the Box: Tourism in the Context of the Internet and Globalization (Internetity)" in terms of modernity, post-modernity, advertising discourse and Internetity (the information age). I then suggest ways in which a film-realistic, interactive, 3D and group-buildable virtual Harbin / virtual earth / virtual universe in something like in Google Streetview/Maps/Earth with OpenSim/Second Life will and can be used in both science and social science for research. I'll conclude with ways brainwave headsets and similar will be incorporated for research with this. Emerging from the University of Toronto Press's publishing of Marshall McLuhan's "The Gutenberg Galaxy" in 1962, as well as UC Berkeley Professor Manuel Castell's book "The Internet Galaxy" (Oxford 2001) which comes into conversation with McLuhan's book, I suggest here that a virtual Harbin / virtual earth / virtual universe in Google Streetview/Maps/Earth with OpenSim/Second Life, as wiki and for STEM research, especially ethnography too, which is explicitly explored in my actual/virtual Harbin anthropological book, will lead beyond McLuhan and Castell's thinking to a new film-realistic 3D interactive build-able wiki-informed virtual earth galaxy.

Speaker Bio:
Scott MacLeod's research focuses on the anthropology of information technology and counterculture. He's written an ethnographic book, "Naked Harbin" about Harbin Hot Springs in northern California, with a virtual world aspect, due to be published in 2016 - http://www.scottmacleod.com/ActualVirtualHarbinBook.html. He's the founder, president, CEO, a faculty member and presiding clerk of wiki CC World University and School (which is like CC Wikipedia with best STEM Creative Commons' licensed OpenCourseWare and planning to accredit on CC MIT OCW in 7 languages and CC Yale OYC - http://worlduniversityandschool.org). Scott continues to teach "Information Technology, the Network Society and the Global University" regularly on Harvard's virtual island (not on Harvard University's faculty) in Second Life, and in Google group video Hangouts. He's teaches both anthropology and sociology.

Re: Poland World University and School

Having held World University and School Language Speaking group video Hangouts in G+ earlier this autumn for a few weeks, I’m thinking about starting these up again - so for group English language learning - but if you’d like to participate (and your girlfriend could participate too if she has bandwidth) I’d like to ask something in exchange, and that is for you to help develop Poland World University and School in Polish.

Dear Universitians and friends, 

I'm very glad CC World University and School (WUaS)'s donation of CC WUaS to CC Wikidata made it into this weekly [Wikidata] weekly summary #182 - see, too:

https://hu.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikip%C3%A9dia:Wikidata-seg%C3%ADts%C3%A9gk%C3%A9r%C3%A9s#Wikidata_weekly_summary_.23182. 

(see, too: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikidata/Newsletter#Wikidata_weekly_summary_.23182).

I think WUaS will begin to become part of the Wikidata workflow, and WUaS will therefore gain coders and language teams.

Best regards, 

Scott
