Hey. Great thing this finally got started. Now, logo should be applied and everything. But, one thing I was interested in is the admin/bureaucrat status. You should apply now. I think every project should start with at least one bureaucrat and who better than you in this case? Cheers :) --Filip (§) 12:09, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

Hey Cormac, Welcome to Wikiversity ;)--Özgür 13:12, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

Welcome

Thanks for the welcome! I hope my edit to the Current Events was appropriate. I just think Wikiversity is a really cool idea, and I might be able to help in some way. I have some expertise in a few areas--music, Mandarin Chinese, and perhaps a few other areas. I'm trying to figure out where to start. This is such a big idea; I'm having trouble even wrapping my head around it. :) --Fang Aili 15:53, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

what aspect of music would you be interested in working on in Wikiversity? Well, I just created Music. Perhaps it should be called School of Music, though. I'm an advanced classical pianist and have some skill with music theory. I can play a bit of guitar and like to dabble with any instrument I can get my hands on. I can sing in tune. But I don't know how to transfer those skills into an online learning format yet. --Fang Aili ^talk 16:14, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

Course format ideas

Right now I'm thinking that perhaps we can create week-long or even day-long courses. This way we start small and it's not so overwhelming. (A "day-long" course would mean, perhaps, 2 hours of learning and study--a time length reasonable to the average person who works during the day.) There could be "weekend" courses too, which are more concentrated, or something. (I am way late coming to this project; I know it's been in the works for some time and perhaps this has all been hashed out from here to eternity already...) --Fang Aili ^talk 16:14, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
