Openness and collaboration

Welcome to the Wikiversity learning project about openness and collaboration. This is a "Learning by doing" project where Wikiversity community members explore how to promote openness and collaboration at Wikiversity.

Can the Wikimedia community develop a friendlier, more collaborative culture or will participation at Wikimedia wikis continue to be disrupted?

This learning project was started in response to the recent call for Openness by the the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees.
