[edit] Welcome

Welcome to Wikiversity! Wikiversity beta is a hub for general multilingual discussions of Wikiversity issues. It is also an incubator for new Wikiversity projects in various languages. Babel is our multilingual forum for general discussions. -- ZaDiak^tell 13:00, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Greek

Do you know greek? -- ZaDiak^tell 12:08, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

Unfortunately I don't know greek. (I am from Romania...) -- Ciprian Dorin Craciun 15:25, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

Congratulations for your hard work. I admire you. -- ZaDiak

Thank you, but why? -- Ciprian Dorin Craciun 14:19, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Proposal

Hello Ciprian Dorin Craciun. I would like to tell you again that I am impressed from your work. All this work that you have done is sure very difficult. In 2-3 months the Greek Wikiversity will launch. I would really like from you to continue your work there and transwiki there the work that you have done here I really think that you can become a vital part of our community. Please accept my proposal. I hope that you will do it. Friendly. --ZaDiak^tell 14:48, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

Hello ZaDiak. First of all I would like to thank you for your appreciation. I have read your proposal, and there is something unclear to me: You would like me to contribute to the Greek Wikiversity, and I would accept this but, I am not a Greek speaking person. So my question is: How can I help there? I am a native Romanian speaker and I know well English... -- Ciprian Dorin Craciun 15:54, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

Well, we can translate the work you have done in english to greek and then you will help. I don't have a problem doing it. Also the work in romanian you can transwiki it to our WV. I think it is the same as in English so no problem.--ZaDiak^tell 15:58, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

If you want to translate my work -- I guess you are referring to the laboratory notes -- then I am more than happy to help you as I can. (Being new to Wikiversity I still don't see how could I be of some use, except creating new content in English, or by extending the existing content.) So please let me know when -- and how -- can I help you. -- Ciprian Dorin Craciun 16:23, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

Well I am very happy to hear this. I will start translating the next days. When the greek WV open we will transwiki your work there and you will continue your work normally there. This will propably happen in December. The only things I want from you is tell me with which pages I should start.--ZaDiak^tell 16:30, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

So you would like me to move from Beta to the Greek Wikiversity? This I think is not possible, as I am writing in English and Romanian -- work mostly related to my current job at the West University of Timişoara -- thus moving these works there makes no sense... (If the Wikiversity experiment works for me and I can attract some attention, I would like to start a Romanian Wikiversity project.) What we could do instead -- if you would like -- is to keep the content from there and here in synchronization -- what I mean is that we leave the English (and Romanian) content here, but as the content evolves we could also update the one from Greek site. -- Ciprian Dorin Craciun 16:50, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

Mmmmmm, well I think your proposal is good but I thought another solution why not to transfer the english to the Greek Wikiversity and leave the ROmanian here?--ZaDiak^tell 16:53, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

Moving one content, and the other one leaving behind (or even moving the entire content), has some drawbacks:

• First of all it would confuse my students, because even if the laboratory notes are written in English, they are intended for romanian students that study computer science in English language at my university.
• Second, all the pages I have created compose a unitary work -- that is, an online curricula for computer science students -- and I would like to keep them in one place.
• Third, I am currently speaking with some colleagues of mine to collaborate and expand / rewrite / create laboratory notes that we shall all use in common (as we are more teachers that teach Lisp, Prolog, or Web Technologies).

So with these constraints, I can not -- for the moment -- move the content to another Wikiversity project. But I reiterate my proposal to keep the content in syncronization if you decide to translate it. (Or any other method you see fit, but that does not imply moving content.) -- Ciprian Dorin Craciun 17:10, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

Ok, no problem. I will try to keep them in syncronization. But if sth change and you decide to move the english content to another WV then let me know it. Good luck!--ZaDiak^tell 17:17, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

Sorry I forgot to mention that if you transwiki sth it doesn't disappear from the place you transwikied it. For example if we transwiki the english content then it still exist here. So another solution would be if we transwikied some notes in which you will not write more. What do you think?--ZaDiak^tell 17:23, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

If such content will become available I will inform you. Until then I hope we shall collaborate as we have established. -- Ciprian Dorin Craciun 17:50, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

So let me understand. For example Laboratory 1 is not finished?--ZaDiak^tell 18:00, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

Let's take -- more exactly -- ‎Lisp EN -- Laboratory 1 -- 2006-2007 -- info.uvt.ro (or any other related to Lisp for that matter). This laboratory note is finished in terms that the content is stable. But it is not finished in the sense it is not used any more -- it is still used now for teaching Lisp. -- Ciprian Dorin Craciun 18:13, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

But you won't change it. Right?--ZaDiak^tell 18:14, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

The short answer: No. The long answer: Maybe -- if I find errors, or I want to add new examples. -- Ciprian Dorin Craciun 18:20, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

Ok sorry for torturing you. I didn't want to.--ZaDiak^tell 18:22, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

 :) No problem. You are not torturing me. I call it communicating. :) Something that I think escapes today's society... So, let's continue! -- Ciprian Dorin Craciun 18:29, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

Well if you like communicating and you use firefox then we can communicate with IRC.--ZaDiak^tell 18:52, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] special:prefixindex

Ciprian, you may be interested in the prefix index:

• As a link: Special:PrefixIndex/Retele de calculatoare -- 2007-2008
• As a transclusion:

Retele de calculatoare -- 2007-2008 -- info.uvt.ro

Best, -Hillgentleman | | 書 18:45, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, this could be very useful for me (as I split my notes in a lot of small pages). Ciprian Dorin Craciun 08:11, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

[edit] deletion resquest

If you want to indicate to make a deletion in a page, add this template instead of add the category. With the template, you can indicate tne reason. It's more esay to make maintenance. Thanks for your works. Crochet.david 14:03, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for the tip. But for the pages already put in the category for deletion, should I apply the template to them or can you take them into consideration as they are? Ciprian Dorin Craciun 16:03, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

No, do not annoy you to put the template. Crochet.david 16:44, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

[edit] custodian

Ciprian, As you have built up a host of courses, would you have needs for the custodian tools? Best, <Hillgentleman| ~ | 書> 15:45, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

Well I don't know, would it be useful to me and the pages I've created? :) What are the requirements / duties? Ciprian Dorin Craciun 16:38, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

Useful - not much. You may wish to delete things from time to time or protect your pages from damage. There is no duty, and the requirements are, by tradition, a commitment to wikiversity and a good track record. I think we all have see both. Best, <Hillgentleman| ~ | 書> 08:14, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

Indeed deleting some of my old pages, or pages created by my by mistake, would be a nice feature. In this case, please grant me access to custodian tools. Thanks, Ciprian Dorin Craciun 08:26, 19 October 2009 (UTC)
