Hi Houcemeddine Turki, Denny Vrandecic, Lydia Pintscher, Peter Norvig, Laurence Moroney, Wikidatans and All,
CC-4 MIT OCW-centric wiki World University and School as a research university (and planning online major research universities in all ~200 countries) will write a letter of support for this project. (And as you may all know WUaS donated itself to Wikidata for co-development in 2015 and received WUaS Miraheze MediaWiki in 2017 as a consequence but they're not yet interoperable in any of Wikidata's ~300 languages yet). World University and School is also planning online Medical Schools with online teaching hospitals for online clinical care in ~200 countries' official/main languages, and online clinical trials in each of all 7111 known living languages - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Clinical_Trials_at_WUaS_(for_all_languages) - with remarkable career opportunities for Wikidatans. As president of CC-4 MIT OCW-centric wiki World University and School and exploring further collaboration opportunities with Wikidata as well, CC-4 MIT OpenCourseWare-centric World University and School is developing not only our ~200 planned online Medical Schools - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/World_University_Medical_School - with ~200 online teaching hospitals - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Hospital - for online clinical care, as well as online clinical research and trials in 7,111 known living languages - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Clinical_Trials_at_WUaS_(for_all_languages) - as well as ~200 online law schools - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/World_University_Law_School - both Medical Schools and Law Schools planned in all ~200 countries - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Nation_States - and in their official languages - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Languages. World University and School is also planning great numbers of academic careers for potentially Wikidatans, in all 7111 living languages - and seeks to become the MIT / Harvard / Oxbridge of the Internet. Perhaps this email will serve an initial letter of support for your efforts, but I look forward to learning, Houcemeddine, more specifically what kind of letter of support might be further helpful. Thank you. All the best, Scott In a related vein, please see Agenda items 4, 7, and 8 and other items as well from today's open MIT OCW-centric World University and School's monthly business meeting: Agenda: - https://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/2019/10/agenda-for-oct-19-2019-world-university.html - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/10/bright-eyes-catharanthus-roseus-agenda.html ... with WUaS Minutes from today's 3rd Saturday open Monthly Business Meeting to come on these blog sites.
