- WikiBase and WikiData for the 'backend' of the wiki.


- MediaWiki (including output to a 2x3 inch screen) and Plone (a Content Resource Management - CRM - system, which MIT OCW recently moved to) are the best directions for World University & School, given the benefits of wiki in terms of openness and group knowledge production, and MIT OCW for academic standards and content; by way of comparison, Wikipedia is in around 272 languages. WUaS would like to integrate great universities open content, potentially centering on Plone, but be flexible to use integrate their open course ware.
- Find or build a wiki 'front end' especially with output to a 2x3 inch screen, as wiki, on 'obscure' internet phone browsers (e.g. like Palm OS and others) for the developing world and 200 countries and 3000-8000 languages, given the benefits of wiki in terms of openness and group knowledge production.

- Possibly MediaWiki (e.g. Wikipedia), but it doesn't work well on handhelds. Wikipedia is in around 284 languages, by way of comparison.

- For the 'You at WUaS' main page - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/You_at_World_University - use Quickbooks for nonprofits to start as the 'backend', and to manage donor support, communciations, and to pay interns, and eventually as 'secure registrar,' and then add other Intuit software to develop the Bookstore and used/new Computer store (see http://quickbooks.intuit.com/product/accounting-software/nonprofit-accounting-software/ ).

- plan for Android / iPhone / smart phone mobile internet devices with video, and group text chat for the conference method - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Conference_Method_of_Teaching_and_Learning - of teaching and learning, as the bare minimum hardware to begin to study for a MIT OCW-centric Bachelor's degree.
- plan for Android / iPhone / smart phone mobile internet devices with video, and tablets, and group text chat for the conference method - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Conference_Method_of_Teaching_and_Learning - of teaching and learning, as the bare minimum hardware to begin to study for a MIT OCW-centric Bachelor's degree. Quickbooks is probably in many countries and currencies already.


- will prioritize for DESIGN (think Apple) & robust information technological development in hiring, as we aim for a billion Universitians on the SCHOOL idea-social network side of WUaS - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/WUaS_Information_Technologies_and_Data_Plan - and for around 100 undergraduate students on the UNIVERSITY, free, degree-granting side, first matriculating in 2014, with MIT OCW for course curriculum (32 15 week MIT courses over 4 years).
