Hi M and H,
Nice to see you today.
M, I don't think I've emailed you 'Namibia' World University and School before - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Namibia - which is the beginning of what WUaS is planning to be an online, accredited, C.C., MIT OCW-centric university there in large languages, and also wiki schools in all of its languages, with many of their links farther down this page here - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Namibia#World_University_and_School_Links.
I also added the beginning, wiki, article 'Botswana–Namibia relations' - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Botswana%E2%80%93Namibia_relations - from Wikipedia to both the Namibia page and the Botswana WUaS, beginning, wiki university - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Botswana - (and realize that you, H, are focusing on many other things academically these days). And here are Botswana languages - http://www.ethnologue.com/country/BW/languages - which I'm adding to this page.
As wiki, WUaS facilitates open teaching and learning, and especially here in this wiki for Namibians and people in Botswana, as we begin to grow and hopefully create a flourishing, learning conversation; Wikipedia is in 287 languages, so there's good precedent in wiki-world.
I hope MIT OCW-centric WUaS will begin to generate great Anthropology and Academic careers, and eventually in many languages, as well, which is partly why I'm sending you these resources.
Your trip to New Orleans sounds very fun. :)
All the best,
Scott

Hi H and M,
Thanks for your emails. I find Stanford's Anthropology talks excellent in general, and yesterday's were edifying as well.
Concerning a specific question for you, H, which you've asked if I have one a few times:
How would you suggest startup World University and School to bootstrap best financially to hire Stanford students of many, many stripes, for example, to become paid student heads and presidents and clerks (facilitators and in a f/Friendly sense) and teachers and researchers and developers in beginning, accrediting WUaS universities in many languages and countries, - including in these startup, online, C.C. universities:
Botswana World University and School ... http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Botswana - and at the -
Namibia World University and School ... http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Namibia?
WUaS is not work yet, in that we haven't been able to pay anyone so far, and WUaS would like to create great Anthropology and academic careers, and eventually in many languages, as well, - and become the become the MIT / Harvard / Stanford of the internet and in all languages and countries. MIT OCW-centric WUaS offers so much excellent, creative, academic potential, and in so many languages, - and Stanford, MIT and Harvard are great university organizations upon which to model, and eventually with which to seek to collaborate, even.
M, I'm interested in what courses and resources you might find for the startup, Namibia, WUaS university, and invite you even to click 'edit this page' to try adding an idea, just to see how wiki-easy and open it is. :)
Best regards,
Scott
