Summary
Proposal
We should develop recommended structures for books, teaching material, news, etc. to get more collaboration and participation in smaller wikimedia projects.
Motivation
Collaboration requires standardization. Therefore wikipedia has recommended structures for articles of cities, countries, military campaigns, people, etc. There are wikimedia projects with strong standards: Wikiquote, Wiktionary and weak standards: Wikinews. And there are projects without standards like Wikibooks and Wikiversity. These projects don´t really work, because there is no collaboration (collaboration means more than one person writes content into one wikibook or learning resource). I don´t know if it is possible to develop recommended structures for books or teaching material, but we should try to.
Key Questions
What can we do to strengthen the smaller wikimedia projects?
Potential Costs
