I hope we let everyone do as they wish, as long as texts remain internally consistent, i.e., no mixing of UK and US spelling conventions in a single document. Similar rules should apply to e.g. Portuguese as written in Portugal and basically also in the so-called PALOP countries (the African countries that have Portuguese as an official language) and the Brazilian variety of Portuguese.

I apologize. However, should we choose between American and British spelling or let everyone do as they wish?

I'm back to give you an update on the progress of the style <http://www.wikieducator.org/Workgroup:style_guidelines> guidelines workgroup and its draft policy <http://www.wikieducator.org/Workgroup:style_guidelines/Guideline_policy_pro posal> . First, not much has changed in two weeks. The current suggested guidelines list <http://www.wikieducator.org/WikiEducator:Style_guide/Proposed_guidelines#Pr oposed_guidelines> appears to be at a general consensus, however we can't progress with the suggestions until a policy for ratification is decided upon by the council. All the same, new suggestions are always welcome, as are comments on current suggestions! Through the week, I'll be doing some research and trying to add new ones, so keep checking the list. On the status of the draft policy: I think it's safe to say what we have is a "complete" draft, thanks to the help of Wayne and others. We're still late on a final draft, and have only seven days to the submission deadline of 1 September. I believe that will be plenty of time to make sure we have a solid draft for proposal to the council at the 7 September meeting, but it still requires that we hear the opinions of others! Remember that even if you had never heard of a wiki before you came to Wikieducator, you can still make a valuable contribution to this project and others!
