Very cool idea, Thomas. I think Wikitolearn is a natural part of KDE
leadership here, and we could perhaps partner with
http://openscience.org/ - some of whom got their beginning in KDE. In
addition, while searching for Open Science, I saw https://osf.io/,
which is Open Science Framework: A scholarly commons to connect the
entire research cycle. I can't tell if they have an FOSS connections
or not, but that orientation to openness and sharing is built into the
scientific process and the academy.
