So is WE categorization really just tagging - user keywords that are
intended primarily for the user who applied them?
The problem comes when there is an expectation (mine and others?) that
there will be some consistency in categories while tags are
explicitly user keywords. When these are all

Hi Savithri,
You're right
My apologies to all for coming into this so late; my inbox this week
looks like someone set off an email bomb!
On the whole, I agree that some measure must be taken to inform readers
and members of the authors' intent for collaboration. It gets me
frustrated when I see that, despite the

In my experience in wikis, *none* of the categories are ever officially
administered, and all of them are user inspired. Members are free to
create whatever categories that please them, usually guided by a set of
guidelines and watched over by a group of experts and helpers. The
I love the little 4 green squares icon for status. Very helpful.

Having a few formal categories for metadata and user tags might be a
good way to go.

There are a couple of good commercial models that demonstrate some

The other thing that I would like to see is a review and rating system
within WikiEducator to help direct others to the strong content that
is available for adoption with or without editing and customization.
If people make copies of their own, it would be wonderful to track
that fact, too. Show

Hi Anil,
I think you're very right about consensus on resources where there is an
intent to collaborate on the development of a universal resource which
would be applicable in a wide variety of contexts.
However, consider for example a Ugandan teacher who is developing an OER on
Ugandan history
Dear Dr.Wayne,
I think the ambit of consensus is so broad so that it can include consensus
to ‘do not edit’ :) such and such thing….by such and such members….on such
and such occasions etc etc Of course it has to deal with editing guidelines
and Policy for page protection also
I am not
Hi Anil,
I see we're on the same page here :-)
I'm not calling or suggesting universal protection of pages -- far from it
-- it's not the wiki way.
I'm looking for us to find solutions within the ambit of our consensus
thinking to provide an indication to prospective editors to say please
Dear Dr. Wayne,
You are right. We may list out the instances with reason, the message to be
displayed for each instance, develop template and add it on consensus page

Good idea -- lets get this done based on the feedback we receive on the list

asked about WE - specially when some materials are created for a particular
context and people do not want it modified. In case we develop suitable

Hi Everyone,
Valid observation indeed. Also given that school

at least in my country!) the need to protect resources designed
round them cannot be overemphasized . Maybe a kind of status value
