Hi all,

Who at Wikimedia (if anyone) is at all focused on education for K-12 on
Wikipedia and related topics? Re this
thread<http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikimedia-l/2013-September/thread.html#128240>which
I don't have the permissions to post to. I'm looking for someone in
the US, preferably the California Bay Area.

Thanks,
Jane
