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?

Cheers
Wayne
