Hi Simon & Wayne,
As you figure these things out - and you can prime me with the right
technical questions to ask the folks at CANAIRIE - http://www.canarie.ca - ,
I'll be happy to make some enquiries.
My good buddy Jamie Rossiter may also have some contacts there that we may
wish to contact. (I

Hi Simon,
The OER Foundation is very receptive to facilitating shared infrastructure.
That said, to date we've not had much success with Karen yet in figuring our
how WikiEdcuator.nz for example could collaborate and share the local NREN.
Obviously synchronous communication tools would be a great
Congrats guys,
Yu really are doing wonderful stuff.
Can I bring up this one about the "technology required to make the OER
vision a reality". I wish i could talk about the physical
infrastructure/distribution meaningfully but this is beyond me. I've

Hi Edward,
I'm pleased that you're not trolling -- a man with your intellect and skill
would do a good job.
For the record -- I think global warming is a major issue for the planet,
and that pseudo scientists can do considerable damage (a.k.a. drug
research).
That said -- our list has its own un
Hi Phil,
Controversial topics are just that - -controversial. It was a good rant --
what we've come to expect from Phil :-).
You're right --- WE need to think, reflect and act on what we as a community
of educators will be doing with regards to controversial OER -- I don't
know the answers, but
I was not looking for or expecting such a lively debate on this
discussion group when I posted my rant. I was trying to point out that
we will touch on controversial topics and asking if we need some sort
of a policy within our community. I was happy to see the debate here,
but I fear that I was ta

Hey there Ed, nice ch
Again, you have not responded to good faith questions, and you resort
to accusation, sort of, almost.
I have some experience of being trolled by the competent and the
incompetent, and I can assure you that if _I_ wanted to troll this
list you wouldn't know I was doing it. ^_^ The best practitioner
You failed to respond to my offered data or any of my previous
questions about your understanding of Global Warming, and now you take
my offer to assist you as an insult. I take this as evidence (not
proof) that your ignorance _is_ willful. You have an opportunity to
demonstrate otherwise, by respo
On the other hand, Edward, while you apparently fail to see the connection
between Wayne's two posts, I had no problem seeing how they are related to each
other and the conversation that had been going on.
While I agree with the points you made in your first post concerning this
subject, I f

Very few people would be inclined to continue a conversation with
someone so obnoxious, and frankly, I'm not one of them.
The irony here is that I'm not a climate change skeptic. I'm an
