Biodiversity: Innovation newsletters for each wiki subject page, language page, country page, etc ... and in all languages and countries ... to share new innovations on each page ... Biodiversity SemanticWiki project with a museum in Berlin ... Good description of how SemanticWiki works ...

Good idea ...

With each wiki subject page at WUaS, we've long had the plan to create a community with email lists -
e.g. http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/SUBJECT_TEMPLATE#Select_Communities.2C_Email_lists.2C_etc. and "Create EMail group for page" in the "Digital to Do" section of the main "Navigation" section - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/SUBJECT_TEMPLATE#Digital_To_Do - (all accessible here -
http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/SUBJECT_TEMPLATE) - but in talking with a friend at Harbin today, WUaS, as we move to Wikidata and Wikibase, may plan to allow interested people to


1.

add their email addresses to each wiki page they're interested in ...

e.g.

to the Biodiversity Studies' email subscribe field -
http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Biodiversity_Studies -

or the Quantum Physics' email subscribe field -
http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Quantum_Physics -

or the Media Lab at World University and School email subscribe field -
http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Media_Lab_at_World_University_and_School.


2.

and then

perhaps invite graduate student instructors, or possibly anyone, to create a regular newsletter, or email postings whenever, with the most innovative, exciting and inspiring developments on each WUaS wiki page ... {in addition to fascinating MIT OCW courses} ...

such as, for example, a 'gecko' skin invention which sticks to walls, and holds computers there, which could have been designed and developed at the Media Lab at WUaS ...

This could lead to a flourishing of each page in terms of innovation and creating, and the development of a growing community of innovators for each ...

WUaS is very interested in developing in SemanticWiki, as well as in Wikidata, to integrate such projects as yours. 

(I'm not posting this email to the whole Wikidata list, since although this is an email about a Wikidata coding possibility, the guidelines for mentioning some but not all non-Wikidata/Wikimedia projects on this list aren't clear to me. Could you please possibly let me know what are the guidelines Lydia?).  

I'm also including Markus in this email since he's the founder of SemanticWiki. 

Thanks for this interesting project, and these online data integration possibilities.

Best regards,

Scott
