[WikiEducator] Re: Going live with WYSIWYG editing -- Testing and Scheduled outage
Wonderful to see this up and working and many conversations on what would work best, so thanks Jim and Wayne. Very soon L4C will offer revised training materials (for new comers who do not want to learn wiki markup) making the wealth of the WE content and community open to a new tranche of educators. Bring it on! Paul.

[WikiEducator] Good News: United Nations Volunteers
Hi Everyone, Late last year Anil, Phil, Randy, John and others were exploring the idea of working with United Nations Volunteers (http://www.unv.org ) -- See earlier discussions on the list - http://tinyurl.com/ybcfwbv You may recall that we were concerned about the all rights reserved copyright provisions of the UNV site with reference to content our community would generate in listing our volunteer needs on the UNV site. This practice did not align with our with our core community values associated with open content licensing. I agreed to contact Elise Bouvet, Online Volunteering Programme Specialist at UNV on behalf of the OER Foundation and the WikiEducator community for UNV to consider an exception in our case. Elise took the initiative to contact their legal department and WE are very pleased to confirm that UNV have agreed to an exception to license content we produce for the UNV site under our default CC-BY-SA license. I have uploaded a copy of the letter from UNV confirming this exception for our community: http://tinyurl.com/yzrtbcf I would like to commend the United Nations for listening and being prepared to consider our request. This is a testament to UNV's commitment to respond to the needs of the volunteer community they serve. If WE had a monthly *Bouquet *Award, January's award would definitely go to UNV :-). -- perhaps we should think about instituting a community Bouquet Award where we can nominate people and organisations to recognise outstanding contributions of people and organisations who serve WE in a special way? Thoughts? I think WE should move forward in preparing a volunteers proposal for consideration by UNV. Randy has already set up a page for us to collaborate on drafting the proposal here: http://www.wikieducator.org/UNVhttp://www.google.com/url?sa=Dq=http://www.wikieducator.org/UNVusg=AFQjCNFyCecQl33ImXe8u5Mz5fv6yWvZeA 2010 is going to be an amazing year for OER!
