Hi all... Sounds like a worthy thing to consider...how to assist smaller projects joining WikiEducator.
As for OLiVER, here's the specific situation...as you can see from its current home - http://oliverproject.org - there's not a ton of pages yet, but its not tiny either This is a job that could be done just cutting and pasting to recreate the pages in WikiEducator. Boring and tedious, but just some hours of work for a few people who want to dig in and do it (the way I did the first few pages which are up). Or, someone mentioned to me that there may be some method in a python framework that could migrate pages from one place to another? any idea what this would be? (I'm not to good on things that get into that tech realm...) A stipend sounds great for someone to do the work, but is this a big enough project to warrant that? And OLiVER doesn't really have a lot of images, so a bulk option for image uploading (though a great idea for future projects!) may not be necessary here. I'm hoping to get this moved over as soon as we can...becuase then I think the synergey of the our project within the larger WikiEd community will really take off. Thoughts? Ideas? Thanks!
