the Principles of Economics by Alfred Marshal over here:http://

Lots and lots of work, although one of the exciting things is that we
have a number of candidates for XXI Texts of old textbooks that would
be worth revising for today's students.

In our case, though, part of the delay is that I believe that
something that comes out of the public domain should stay there, even
as it's revised, so having a complete WE policy on exactly how we use
alternative licenses within WE will be helpful.  I suppose that will
have to wait for the new Council....

For those who haven't seen them or didn't know they were there:

Spanish WikiEducator:
http://es.wikieducator.org/

French WikiEducator:
http://fr.wikieducator.org/

Portuguese WikiEducator:
http://pt.wikieducator.org/

Perhaps those German language materials could start life as the core
of an instance at de.wikieducator.org?
