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.... << We need help in translating our Wiki Newbie Tutorials for the Spanish, French and Portuguese WikiEducator installations and hopefully Chinese sometime in the future. >> 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? -=Steve=- --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "WikiEducator" group.
