Wikipedia: Den tyske regering betaler folk for at bidrage
Den tyske regering har besluttet at stimulere udviklingen af tysk Wikipedia ved at betale folk for at bidrage, læser vi på Heise Online:
"A number of key words already have excellent entries in the German Wikipedia" within the field of renewable resources, explains Andreas Schütte. Schütte is the executive director of the Renewable Resources Agency (FNR), which receives funding from the German Ministry of Nutrition, Agriculture, and Consumer Protection to conduct research on renewable resources with an eye to launching products on the market. At the same time, Schütte says that a number of key words in the German Wikipedia have very short descriptions, are not up to date, or are missing entirely.Jeg har længe selv tænkt noget lignende, men med en anden vinkel: Danmark kunne gøre meget for udviklingen af et virkeligt godt leksikon på dansk, om regeringen ville tillade alle danske forskere at bruge 5% af deres tid (svarende til to timer om ugen) på at opdatere dansk Wikipedia inden for deres eget fagområde - tillade det og opfordre til det, mener jeg.
Entries on this topic are to be improved under the direction of the private-sector Nova Institute. The Institute plans to get external experts to write entries on renewable resources for Wikipedia. These experts will first receive training for Wikipedia because collaboration in the community project has its pitfalls. The Institute is therefore looking for someone well versed in Wikipedia to handle project coordination. The project partners have issued a call for tenders for that position. Wikipedia experts can send in their applications immediately.
Udover den forskning og undervisning, landets akademikere allerede foretager, er det svært at forestille sig en bedre investering i dansk videnskabs eller det danske sprogs fremtid.
