Thanks Nellie (and to all the folk who have responded to this post so far).
None of what we do would be possible without the hundreds / thousands of educators who work tirelessly every day in contributing to our compelling vision of developing OER in support of all national curricula by 2015. I've said this on many occasions: My faith in education has been restored watching, experiencing and sharing what WikiEducators are doing all around the world. I trained as a teacher and am proud to be a member of this amazing family. Collectively, we are part of an amazing project which will make a substantial difference to the future of education on our planet. We still have lots of work to do --- but I know that we are going to achieve more than we could have dreamed possible. I have the experience from the WE community to vouch and justify the magic we are going to create around open education. Watch this space!!!
