Abstract

  • Wikifying research funding (think how the processes around WMF grants differ from those of classical research grants)
  • Wikifying scholarly publishing (see earlier talk)
  • Wikifying conferences (think how Wikimania differs from scholarly conferences)
  • Wikifying coursework (think Education Portal)
