Thank you @Leaderboard. Just tried to introduce myself and the project on the general help page, but apparently the four outgoing links to our German Wikibooks pages were too suspicious :) Could you somehow activate the post?

 * Try again, it will work. For reference, this is the text you tried to add but couldn't Leaderboard (discuss • contribs) 08:01, 25 March 2021 (UTC):

Introducing German Wikimedia Open Science Project - OpenRewi
Hi folks,

My German Wikibooks friend @HirnSpuk has already talked about work related to our project. Therefore I like to introduce myself and the project properly. Also because we like to start writing books at the English Wikibooks community.

I am a legal scholar based in northern Germany. My research interests are (critical) legal theory, human rights and data protection. Currently I am writing my PhD about the human right to data protection from a post-individual perspective.

In the past months (2020/21) I have been an Open Science Fellow of the Wikimedia Foundation Germany. My project is called "OpenRewi" (Rewi="Rechtswissenschaft"=legal science). Our goal is to write Open Educational Ressources on various legal topics. Currently we have projects on human rights, criminal law, intellectual property law, law on migration and asylum as well as empirical legal studies. Our projects consist of teams with "editors" and "authors". Although we use traditional terminology, we try to work in a different way. The teams are supposed to work in an agile way without hierarchies. Editors moderate the process of planning and writing. Contents and concepts of our book are planned by the whole project team.

We write our texts currently at the German Wikibooks version in booksprints. Each booksprint consists of several weeks of writing as well as an open peer review process. We try to use the material in our university seminars as much as possible in order to get the feedback from students. After our prototype books reached a satisfactory quality we will publish them as an Open Access Version (CC-BY-SA) with one of the traditional publishers. As we are starting an international team in public international law that will work in English, we are eager to get in contact with the English Wikibooks community. :)

We would like to ask for your opinion on the project structure we imagined to be reiterated in the english Wikibooks community. Currently in the German Wikibooks we got our own user page as a project where we collect how-to-guides and best-practices regarding our quality standards for our books. Of course each author/editor has her own user page, which they use to write actual content within the books. Our books as well as templates (in German "Vorlage") are all preceded by OpenRewi. Do you think this organizational structure would also work in the English version?

If you agree on that, we would start translating our German project page for the English version and try to rebuilt the templates in the English Wikibooks version. You can of course always reach me for questions. We are all pretty excited about this!

Cheers Max --~

Vorstellung im Reading Room.
(for the english-reading: I'm talking about some hints I gave in the reading room.)

Hi, bin grad mobil unterwegs: denkt dran nach Euren Links, Überschriften und dem visual editor zu fragen. Habs vergeigt, weil ich gleichzeitig Deine Links korrigieren wollte, deshalb hab ichs erstmal wieder zurück gesetzt. Mobil was machen ist ja die Hölle. Zumindest auf einem 6 Jahre alten Gurkenphone mit Gurkenbrowser :-). Gruß --HirnSpuk (discuss • contribs) 10:36, 25 March 2021 (UTC)

Habs geändert. Sind die Pings angekommen? Gruß --HirnSpuk (discuss • contribs) 12:07, 25 March 2021 (UTC)


 * Yep, everything arrived. Thanks! --Maximilian.Petras (discuss • contribs) 07:38, 27 March 2021 (UTC)
