ZEW on Wikipedia, on Wikimedia Commons, on Wikidata Science 2.0 - Leibniz-Forschungsverbund - Trailer MS Wissenschaft Some food for thought Why did you choose to set up the ZEW Wiki? Why did you go for Confluence rather than MediaWiki? Wikimedia day, or recognition of Wikimedia work on ZEW-related information as adequate use of ZEW staff time QRpedia Diplodocus Review of ZEW-related articles and materials by ZEW researchers Routine upload of non-publishable items of encyclopedic value to Wikimedia Commons Provide data (and images/ videos) on villages around field sites, so that the wiki entries related to them can include that information Provide photos and short biographies of ZEW researchers Publish in reusably licensed journals If that is not possible, upload at least some of the non-published items (example) Wiki workshops Edit-a-thons Hackdays Backstage pass Release ZEW publications, info brochures or press materials under an open license Library training (e.g. work with sources) Open Access Week QRpedia codes in public places Coursework with wiki component (see also Wikimedia Sweden education program) Instructor Basics How to Use Wikipedia as a Teaching Tool Wikipedia Education Program Case Studies Sample Syllabus for Wikipedia assignment Wikimedian in Residence program Research questions What is the value that Wikipedia and its sister projects - or open projects more generally - bring to society? What would be the costs and benefits of research switching to an open mode? What is it that incites millions of people to donate in Wikimedia funding drives? What is it that incites thousands of people to donate their free labour to Wikimedia projects, or volunteer work more generally? Are there any categoric objections to publicly funded research projects doing their accounting in public?
