Well, Maria , Wayne and other folks here in WE I am welcoming the fact that WE is supporting Chinese letters , hopefully it will not like wikispaces , the Chinese characters there looks really weird to my eye :)
However , in case it is really going WE does become independent I am suggesting WE start to think about this collaboratively - How WE really encourage the international collaboration ? WE tutroial is all in English and most of Chiense teacher don't speak English or write in English for sure - I will try to move some of my own projects over on WE just copy and paste - maybe we need to offer L4C workshops in Chinese ? to train Chinese users ? - I always think OER , it is best to see students building the content instead of teachers ,how to encourage students starting to use WE especially to encourage the Mediawiki the monster to become more user-friendly Also I saw Wendy , Wendy is trying to get connected with Neillie , that is great , Neillie I want to introduce Wendy to you , she is one of teachers in one of my projects I am doing called HelpElephantsLiveProjects ( which we have 39 schools ) If WE does support Chinese , I will try to talk to 39 schools here in China to encourage their students , please notice that most of students in 39 schools are Primary school students , So I welcome anyone here from WE to collaborate with my teachers in those 39 schools to build a really exciting but surely no-easy task in China , to make WE really International and really Free in education ! anyone want to agree or disagree ,please leave your comments thank you !!
