I think community service projects for students is an excellent way for young people to get involved with building the intellectual commons. Don't forget that our WikiEducator community would also benefit tremendously from these initiatives <smile>. WE already has a few examples worth exploring. Steve Foerster has started called XXI Texts -- the idea being to update text books which are in the public domain. (http://wikieducator.org/XXI_Texts ) and as started work on the Principles of Economics by Alfred Marshal over here: http://wikieducator.org/Economics_Marshall . Still lots of work to be done and it would be great if we could get a little help. Biology for Elementary Schools, run by Declan McCabe is another brilliant concept where student teachers develop lessons and license these under a free content license (http://wikieducator.org/Biology_in_elementary_schools ). We need help in translating our Wiki Newbie Tutorials for the Spanish, French and Portuguese WikiEducator installations and hopefully Chinese sometime in the future. WikiEducator could easily provide free training for students in basic wiki editing under the Learning4Content project and feel free to invite students to register for any of the upcoming workshops: http://wikieducator.org/Learning4Content/Registration Perhaps we should think about refining our community portal page listing community service projects? We could list a number of projects which would be suitable for community service projects. What do folk think?
