Wikipedia talk:Village pump (proposals)/Crowdfunding

Dear Wikipedia Foundation,

I wrote these few strings to propose a simple idea for your crowdfunding and i report from multimedia center to proposals subsection, because i truly consider Wikipedia the real and concrete positive expression of the main aspect of our Era: IT Era or ITE. I have used Wikipedia for my Trading and Statistical studies with high profits, obviosly aside the books and lessons of University and Master courses so far.

I didn't give Yours any refund for the service and now I hope i will able to give 20% of the base of the profits of 8-9 pamphlets in three sets of products, actually supervised by “La Lepre Edizioni” - Italy. The rest 80% will be destinated to Unicef and House of Tibet. Truly hoping I will able to attend my promise (now it doesn't depends on me).

I want to propose Yours the following Idea: why don't you organize Open Source Degree's courses with your material, that could be attendable by anyone, significantly to low wealth income positions, with on-line timing tests that could certificate the progress of the students, with lower prices for the exams (for example, dependent by wealth positions) and a flat higher price (or something like that) for final test in releasing of a Wikipedia Degree? I intend aside the service: so tests could be reasonably payable as self certification of learning releasable (for example) with ending printable and database recording of overcoming exam.

I think that for your programmers it could be simple to organize taxonomies of degree's topics of the precious materials that you have collected in time. I think Knowledge is the right chance for every individual and economical system as the whole. It could be an open source competitive, appreciate and accessible fount of certificate of knowledge aside the “higher” prestigious but expensive Universities.

Red Hat Certificate of Open Source operators and consultants could be an example and for what concern my experience, i don't believe that your public material with youtube and multimedia scientifics video as integrative contributes have something to envy to most prestigiuos Universities as Cambridge or Harward. Simply it could offer the chance to attend organize training, solving the problem of access to Knowledge for desease bands.

Wiki-Knoledge-certificates-degree could also be a chance for Human Resources training, what has been the task of Micro-Credit-project of Nobel Muhammad Yunus, founder of Grameen Bank. Knowledge has been open offer so far and so on, testing with wiki-degree release could be a double form of support: for the attendees, that can have a return for curricala and careers, and for Wikipedia crowdfunding, that have to go on with his task.

I hope it could be a practicable Idea, advantageous for all in time. However, i will contact Yours for donations if the pubblications will be approved in the year.

Regards and Good Luck, distinctly, SC
