Hi Valerie -- I understand your concerns, particularly with new comers stumbling across the wikieducator.com domain. That said, its not unusual for open source projects to have a commercial domain.
For example, Moodle has http://moodle.org/ and http://moodle.com/ and Mozilla run http://www.mozilla.org/ and http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/ for their business side of things. In defence of your concerns, I see that curriki.com redirects to curriki.org and OER is different from Open Source Software. How do other folk on the list feel?
