Iolanda -- Can you help me understand what is meant by "curriculum-based questions"? You use the phrase many times and each time it sounds like what I would call "teaching to the test". I appreciate that the proposal goes on to answer many worries from an educator's perspective. I suspect there are remaining worries from the perspective of the Wikipedia community which I would describe as "curiosity-based". Thanks and best regards. -- Ward
