OSI has approved licences which are not necessarily free and open source software - why don't you require the offered solution to be free and open source software? Will you upgrade the site to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 1.0? Who is the supporting organisation and how is it controlled? A few small questions:

Will you upgrade the site to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 1.0?

Who is the supporting organisation and how is it controlled?

We have chosen CC-BY 2.0 since it was ported to Germany, however you are right it is probably better to use the most recent version and to omit the porting, We updated the website accordingly. CC-BY however is the license for all textual contributions submitted to the platform not for any sourcecode releases. For sourcecode licenses, we did not want to dictate one specific license, but rather let the community decide which one is most appropriate for a certain development project. Yes, we will try to update the site to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines - a now theme/layout is currently in the works. The project is currently hosted by the Universität Leipzig, but we plan to start a different non-profit organizational structure (e.g. foundation) later. Dear MJ Ray,

Do you feel that Cofundos adds something essential? I would rather say that both systems offer the user choice.
