Thinking about "visitors" and "residents" - most of use are "residents" as well put our names on stuff. Our contributions are tracked in the wiki in history and discussions, and in the group posts. WE are all busily creating open content, sometimes for our own needs, somethings as our contribution to making the world a better place through education. Stephen Downes recently linked to an article about funding content creators who are doing a great job of generating content. But he thought perhaps the funding should go to the folks who need to use the content. This got me wondering...
What about the "visitors" and the WE visitor experience? Is anyone using any of the WE content besides the creators and their explicit intended learners? Do educators or learners just come along and satisfy their needs for learning resources by poking around in WikiEducator? Do we know who they are? Do we know how they found WikiEducator? Do we know how they found the content they needed? Are there specific needs "out there" that are being met by WE content? Do we know what they are? Do we know if there are specific needs that are not currently met by WE content, but could be if that content were available? Are WE doing enough for "visitors"? Can WE do better?
