Looks like a potentially great project. Cool that you're using Semantic Mediawiki!
I see in the footer of http://en.einstein-university.org/Main_Page the license used is CC-BY-NC-ND. I'd suggest changing this immediately. Unless you're getting copyright assignment from all contributors and enabling mass collaboration through some other permission, ND may not work at all. NC is generally suboptimal for educational resources, and specifically disrecommended for everything by OKF, which seems particularly relevant given this is their list. :-) See http://www.opendefinition.org/okd/#8-no-discrimination-against-fields-of-endeavor The license prevents collaborating with the vast universe of other open educational projects, including Wikipedia, see https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/foundation/wiki/Resolution:Licensing_policy Probably the most obvious license for you to use would be the one that Wikipedia does, CC-BY-SA.
