Hi Wayne, Maria, all, I'm just interested in the other communities WE might look to collaborate with. You said;
> Always interested in collobarting -- thanks for the offer re WYSIWYGnow we're > all intrested in collobarting, Can I just point out a few discussions in places not far away. They're in strategy mode. This one is from sue at wikimedia, about strategy. http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/foundation-l/2009-May/051636.html This is on the same list from Ziko, which gives an idea of what's going on in the Nederlands. http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/foundation-l/2009-May/051983.html The dutch seem to be able to bring a lot of things together faster than any other country; seems to be something in the water. This the participant list for OER this year. You can get an idea of the discussions, which revolve around OCWC, by going through the "clouds" in the OER meeting Monterey 2009 link. (an interesting approach from the Open uni in the UK). You'll know different commnnites are puttin in their props to the hewlitt foundation. NB. One thing WE has that no other community seems to have is this discussion place, which we really ought to use to help Wikimedia's advisory board (if no others) get their discussins above the radar without being drowned in spam. I'd be interested in people's ideas about using environment like this, which bring a few useful tools (like a wiki) together. http://grou.ps/introduction.php or http://www.informe.com/index.html (please, they're just examples). And lastly, Wayne would you take a look at Akamai? (as a host) http://www.akamai.com/html/technology/dataviz3.html If we are to get serious about helping our global group, then we gotta think globally. And this is the only network we can seriously address OER things globally. It was born at MIT to get past the world wide wait. And they're making so much money it would be a drop in the ocean to host WE (and a collaborative OER consortia). Hope Otago isn't too cold. regards. > > editing. Let's explore this further.
