News and Agenda
Good news:
1
a
MediaWiki, the source of the "front end" for Wikipedia, and which World University and School plans to develop in again (having donated WUaS to Wikidata in October 2015), now has a head - Tim Starling (reporting to Victoria Coleman, CTO for the Wikimedia Foundation) - and a team focusing its developments. This may mean WUaS can begin to develop in Wikidata/Wikibase (Wikipedia's databases) in their 358 languages sooner than later. WUaS was functioning in MediaWiki (but not in Wikidata at the time) from January to March 2016, and then stopped working - for unknown reasons.
b
Wikidata is also beginning to develop "Languages in Wikidata4Wiktionary." See - https://www.wikidata.org/

WUaS also has our first prospective matriculating student, T.S., beginning this autumn, (and possibly one other student). She has 2 AA degrees, so she should be able to finish an online free CC OCW undergraduate degree online within one year, which may help WUaS to become fully accredited also within a year.
3
And now, too, WUaS will offer 6 undergraduate majors - Computer Science, General Science, Engineering, History, English and Business (https://docs.google.com/sprea
4
WUaS is continuing to seek best ways to write the legal paperwork for our for-profit wing, and begin to grow this as well.
Sincerely,
Scott
