Hi Gunther, I want to pick up on your comment that you "did not get any response from the German Development Agency GTZ"....and now, you are going to approach them again, based on the news of WikiEducator receiving support from Hewlett.
My approach is to always be gracious with people - especially when they turn me down - whether it's once, twice, three times......because I know that eventually, they'll come on board....The challenge is, to figure out, what it's going to take, to have them come onboard - if they are the ones we want. Perhaps we should have a conference / chat about bring some other folks into the conversation - to develop a value proposition for GTZ - so that they seriously consider what WE have to offer. What do you think?

Congratulations to all, who have contributed until now to make WikiEducator happen! Especially all authors from the developing world! And of course Wayne, our optimistic motor! I think, to support the Learning4Content project means supporting somehow the heart of WikiEducator and will give an enormous momentum to our ideas. I guess, the William and Flora Hewlett foundation is well recognized and I hope that this donation will be a sign for other donors. By the way, I did unfortunately not get any response from the German development agency GTZ on my plead to support Learning4Content, but now with this success with Hewlett I will try again right away. The last months I was not writing anything in this forum, because I was busy worth putting my physics course, that I am giving right now, into the wiki. You can already read the first six pages in German at http://www.wikieducator.org/Mechanics11 . We are planning the first translation to English soon. To say it shortly, I am experimenting with using our wiki as a regular medium of my physics tuition. Until now, the results are quite promising and my students are beginning to participate more and more. But now let us to really celebrate this great step forward.
