Hey Kim and all I think you are a little too optimistic for situation here read this http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2010/01/new-approach-to-china.html
Google might close China office in the future or it is a threat Wikieducator so far is not being blocked , but the rule here is , as soon as people start using any tool like twitter , when it getting more attention , which means , it is going to be closed For CORE , I know somethng abt this , and I think it is not a real OER , read this if you can read Chinese http://forum.fantasy.tw/viewtopic.php?t=14833&sid=74d27bd3de5059fa8c87f879b7f2dba9 ( OOPS is a MIT course ware translation project ) however , when you put a CC or OER which doesnot mean you are OER at all My own personal opinion , I think OER need to be mostly bottom -up style especially in China , not otherwise here :) so I am more interested in micro level , like one teacher work with another teacher :) the thing abt proxy is , I did not save my post at my blog , so what I can do now to save my blog posts over last 3 years , I have a lot of pictures I don't want to lose Really appreaciate for all your concern , I hope you all can also twitter at your network abt this !!
