 * Add free, open Computer Science courses below.

Ideas
One direction I'd like open, free http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/ to develop extraordinarily in is Software Creativity & Research, Programming, Computer Science, Virtual Worlds, etc. WUaS is like Wikipedia with MIT OCW. First 20 computer science Ph.D. hires from these top 5 universities - Stanford, MIT, Harvard, Yale, Princeton? Yes, if possible ...

Another direction I'd like open, free WUaS to focus on is in language and computing.

Publish my article in a WUaS academic journal in this subject
Open Journal Systems. 2012. Open Journal Systems. Public Knowledge Project.

(WUaS's wiki, information technologies and criteria for this - informed by the WUaS academic journal subject matter - are developing, since you can already publish your article at http://www.academia.edu).
