After successfully introducing free Wikispaces Plus accounts for K-12 education, Wikispaces has decided to give away 2 million free Plus accounts to higher education institutions!

So far Wikispaces have been helping primary and secondary (K-12) educators, but they have decided to "take it to the next level" and expand the programme towards the higher education. Wikispaces are a very useful space for teachers, students, professors, researchers and librarians who need a simple, powerful way to write and work on the Internet.

As a part of the free wiki programme Wikispaces is also planning to develop and release some of the tools and features that educators request most often.

Wikispaces is looking for translators - interested in helping out?  Wikispaces wants to offer the wiki platform in additional languages and needs the help of others who have strong written fluency in English and the additional language of choice.  This is not a paid-for opportunity, but one that will greatly impact the community of Wikispaces users.

Desired languages include:

Adam Frey of Wikispaces, recently presented at Net Tuesday in San Francisco on the ease and simplicity of wikis to organize people and projects.
