Dear all,

I am currently at the UNESCO Mobile Learning Week, and I thought I'd raise
something for discussion.

*Should there be wikipedia entries on projects that are to do with "open"?
I.e. an entry describing the project?*

*Should there be wikipedia entries on educational projects? *

E.g. the significant UNESCO TISSA project, or the CREATE project
http://www.create-rpc.org/ are not on wikipedia. Larger scale projects,
such as EfA / GMR:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Education_For_All
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Education_for_All_Global_Monitoring_Report
are represented.

Background: People at the UNESCO Mobile Learning Week here are saying that
it's difficult to find out about other projects, and I would advocate that
we should use wikipedia to share basic information, rather than setting up
a separate platform.

For example I've just created this page:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OER4Schools
It's fairly unbiased, but at the same time, I am a key person within the
project. So while I could defend the neutrality of the article, it may
still be frowned upon.

What do people think?

All the best,
Bjoern
