Hi Randy, Phil I think UNV is a great concept and also thank everyone for thinking about creative ways in serving the WikiEducator mission :-)
I am however, a little concerned about the Copyright statement on the UNV site, see: http://www.onlinevolunteering.org/en/vol/copyright.html I see that any information we submit to the UNV site will become all rights reserved to the UN. Technically we can't do this as it is a against the core values of the WikiEducator family. I can of course approach the UNV administrators on behalf of the OER Foundation / WikiEducator for an exception in the case of a WikiEducator produced appication to license the information we create under our default open content licenses. Should be an interesting test case :-). Thoughts?
