A proposed Wikiversity/Miraheze collaboration

 * 1) Second_Journal_of_Science is a proposed journal for the teaching of science. Along with a more established journal,  Wikijournal of Medicine, this is part of a  Wikijournal proposal.  These journals need a platform where authors may privately collaborate, and collaboration in wikitext will incentivize submission to journals that use wikitext.  Also editors and referees need private channels of communication.  Update: WikiJournal of Medicine now has a page at wijoumed.miraheze.org.
 * 2) Second Semester Calculus Based Physics is a class roster for one of three courses I am currently teaching. If you go to the Study guide you will see that this course has an open source bank of exam questions that permits a major part of the course to be taught online.  Solutions are available for most of the problems in this bank.  I would like to have students write lab reports in subpages of the roster (see this brief student report by  User:W025nac for an example. )

Planned steps towards collaboration with Wikiversity
If you want to make God laugh, tell him about your plans.
 * 1) Begin a discussion on Wikiversity Colloquium. See Proposal_for_official_collaboration_with_miraheze.org; the collaboration is likely to be informal.
 * 2) Begin a discussion with Miraheze.  Started conversation.
 * 3) Add my name to the list of helpful people at Miraheze. Will do when I get the time.
 * 4) Begin to enroll students as owners of private wikis on Miraheze (Seven are enrolled this semester.  In the Spring I might add as many as 60 more.)
 * 5) Begin to use these private wikis as platforms for lab writeups and other writing assignments (Not ready to do yet).
 * 6) Convince the whole world that the industry standard for submission of college work should be through private wikis.

Footnotes and references
apparently this version of the math extension is different than for Wikiversity and Wikipedia: The array is not supported.

Minor issue with math tags. array:

$$ \begin{array} y_1  \\ y_2  \\ y_A \end{array} $$

Fortunately, the pmatrix is supported. There should be no rush to fix this.

$$ \begin{pmatrix} y_1& =1 \\ y_2&  \\ y_A& \end{pmatrix} $$

from wikipedia pmatrix
 * $$ \lambda = 2, \quad \mathbf{A} =\begin{pmatrix}

a & b \\ c & d \\ \end{pmatrix} $$
