Hi Victoria,
Welcome to Wikimedia and hearty congratulations on your new position as its CTO.
I'm writing to let you know about CC World University and School - http://
which seeks to offer online accrediting CC wiki university and high school degrees in all countries' main languages (e.g. ~200 Harvards of the Internet), and CC wiki schools for open teaching and learning in all 7,097 living languages, - and become a growth story for Wikimedia as well as the Web itself, by developing in all 7,943 languages (entries under languages in Glottolog) - and as academic markets in these, in addition to as schools. WUaS like Wikimedia is committed to open and free knowledge.

WUaS like Wikimedia is committed to open and free knowledge.
The reason I'm writing you is that World University donated CC WUaS to CC Wikidata last October 2015 (per L. P., whom I'm CC-ing here), and is seeking to emerge soon from Wikidata into a new wiki, beginning in all of MIT OCW's 7 languages and UN languages, and indeed soon-ish in all 358 of Wikipedia's languages.
WUaS is also forking from its current non-profit Creative Commons' wing, centering on CC MIT OCW in 7 languages and CC Yale OYC, into a second parallel for-profit wing - with many products planned per these 14 planned revenue streams - http://
In addition to congratulating you heartily on your new position, Victoria, - in what ways might we best communicate further about how best for WUaS to emerge from Wikidata?
Thank you.
Appreciatively,
Scott

Estonian friends, re Estonia World University and School ...
Very nice to meet you yesterday at - https://events.stanford.edu/events/637/63739/ - and what an interesting presentation and information sharing!
Here are the very beginnings of wiki Estonia World University and School (http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Estonia), and Estonian language WUaS (http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Estonian_language), not yet with MIT OCW in Estonian - https://plus.google.com/+ScottMacLeodWorldUniversity/posts/PP1G56btptN - and before WUaS emerges newly from Wikidata (Wikipedia's 4 year old database developing for Wikipedia's 358 languages) into a new, better wiki.
What would be the best way to communicate further about developing Estonia WUaS in Estonian (and possibly the other Baltic States' WUaSs as well)?
(And here is the beginning Russia WUaS - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Russian_Federation - not yet in Russian).
And here are CC MIT OCW Translated Courses in 6 languages - http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/translated-courses/ which CC WUaS will add to CC Wikidata.
With an explicit multi-lingual focus at CC WUaS, what would be helpful for Estonians re free, CC MIT OCW-centric Bachelor, Ph.D., law and M.D. degrees as well as I.B. high school diplomas eventually?
Looking forward to communicating further about this over time! And very nice to meet all of you!
Best regards, Scott
