Hello all, I was exploring the wiki and I found two projects which seem to have a fair amount of overlapping content. Specifically the Caribbean Secondary Education Certificate - Information Technology<http://www.wikieducator.org/Caribbean_Secondary_Education_Certificate_-_Information_Technology>and the Information and Communication Technology <http://www.wikieducator.org/ICT> projects. Both projects have been updated in the last couple months, and so seem to me to still be alive, but don't give any indication of the other project.
First I just wanted to make sure that both projects knew about each other, so that collaboration and re-use of content could happen if they didn't. And second, I was curious as to what the precedents are for (considering) merging two similar projects. Do some similar projects stay separate due to conflicting interests or directions? Do most people try to merge any and all similar content? How might similar projects work to share information? Do they copy content from each project into the other (and so end up with duplicates)? Do they try to set up a heirarchy of pages for the similar content and then build separate learning modules around them? Have there been cases of one project subsuming itself into a different project? As a new participant of the WE community I'm happy to hear any stories or comments about how the community functions.
