That was a fresh and accessible read thanks Peter. I especially liked and found interesting the 5 suggested areas of development research. There was a sudden jump in the level of detail, but I hung in there. BTW, have you heard of this thing called the Delphi

Peter, Is it really about ideas and opinions? I don't think so. I believe it's about egos and how we manage to live with our feelings. Ideas only get in the way. I think it's time we dealt with our emotions at a much deeper level so that ideas and circumstances don't separate us from ourselves and

Dear Leigh, i am amazed by your continous bringing up of controversial topics in wikieducator like me and i would like to applaud you for your tenacity. You can most certainly ignore people like Patricia and Randy who are ACTUALLY the destructive profiteers. Thanks for highlighting the issues

Hi Leigh, Minhaaj All, Thanks for the clarification Leigh, thought you were referring to some NZ/Aus specificity I was not aware of! In terms of global edu I couldn't agree more, though I think it runs deeper than West/ non-West and it's rather about social control associated

Your asking something different. Originally you were talking about naming. Disambiguation would probably be a good example of this. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Disambiguation For a good example of multiple pages from different points of view about the same concept perhaps look at this

Leigh, A very wise observation. And you are correct, at an atomic level, we have very little collaborative work on WE. The whole of WE is a collaborative effort, yet all the individual lessons, materials, modules, etc... are in general created by an individual and rarely edited by another. So
