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.
