Although we're all human beings, we are all different. This is not really a problem, yet the differences can make communication difficult at times. Some people are too loud and therefore not listened to; others are too silent, with the same result.  Still others have simple problems like punctuation – when you read a badly punctuated text, you immediately think: “If this person is not even able to set a comma or period properly the rest of what I'm reading here is probably wrong too." The sad thing is, there may be a wealth of good ideas in such text, but they're not heard, for no other reason than lack of proper form.

The immense advantage of joint work like Wikipedia is – obviously – that we can avoid such problems because  we are not working alone. Whatever you have to contribute, there is always someone else in the group who can contribute his or her skills where your contribution falls short. The ideal case is that together we achieve something that is far greater than the sum of all its parts.

In this spirit I wish all participants good experiences wherever they will work with each other and a great time at Skillshare
