​Good job guys! Just a stupid question: is now possible to load .tex files​
and have them automatically converted? That would be the best feature ever!

​​
While still catching up from the sprint, i encountered yesterday the Rettore

> the didactical matters) of the University of Milano Bicocca, which ranks as
> the first Italian university in the ministerial rankings. I was asked to
> present the project to him, in order to evaluate the idea behind it and see
> what we could do together. I was honestly not expecting much besides
> opening a

He was absolutely enthusiast of the idea and stepped right in the middle of
> it!

> After pondering for about ten minutes and asking me all kind of questions

​That would be the first non-scientifical content on the website, wouldn't
it?


> He has already set

> present them with the idea and start to get them on track with

> Attending the presentation was also the head of the IT department, who also
> liked our project very much and assured his support in order to integrate
> seamlessly the content of WikiToLearn with other tools the university is
> using
> (e.g. Moodle), providing help and all the needed manpower to maintain them.

​
​This will imply such a huge boost in content creation! Very well done!​
​

> The Rettore Vicario also asked me to put the logo wherever we feel

> in order to list Bicocca within the participating institutions in the
> appropriate way.

​I think it's not a bad idea having ​a "Institution that supported us"
(Including KDE, WikiMedia, INFN, and now Uni of Milan-Bicocca) page with
their names, logos and website links. Or it could be on the mainpage. i
dont know, up to you guys!

​In conclusion: very well done!​


​Bye, Dario
