dear Wayne , My self is looking for something like this for a long time
My friends and I are looking for a wiki platform to collaborate working on Chinese book ( teach Chinese to Foreigner ) , which is going to be used as a platform so that we can work together to create materials for teacher who are interested in offer Chinese lesson ( either on line or ofline to ) foreigners who want to learn Chinese . Leigh and I was talking abt this before abt design a curriculum to students in Newzealand , So can I ask that how much funding do you need to install it to WE I mean WYSIWYG function , I am not a techie person , so would you mind to help us with this . if we can convince teacher to USE WE here , then we don't need to build our own platform Thanks Leo 2010/1/28 Wayne Mackintosh <[email protected]> > James, Olugbenga > > Thanks for your words of support -- the OER Foundation and WE look forward > to extending the reach of OER in your parts of the world. > > Cheers > Wayne > > 2010/1/28 Olugbenga Ojo <[email protected]> > > This is great.
