Ok, maybe I phrased it not precisely: You can use SlideWiki for
everything which's license is compatible with CC-BY-SA. So please add a
note stating that your content is also available as CC-BY or CC0 to the
deck description - as I understand CC-BY or CC0 licensed content can
always re-licensed as CC-BY-SA.

You could also upload CC-BY-SA licensed content, which was created by
other people. SlideWiki offers a "Original creator" field to attribute
the original author for that purpose. But my comment was more a response
to Peter's question "Is it only for courses or is it also for personal
collections?"

There is a link to Wikipedia's TOU, but Wikipedia's TOU are not Slidewiki's TOU even if the latter are adapted from the former.

Good point, we will add a full text of the TOU, soon.

Best,
