The OER Foundation is trying to take this a step further with our open governance models. We subscribe to Open Philanthropy -- that is ensuring a level playing field for all contributors including Philanthropy, Education and the Private sector where we develop all documents including any funding proposals as free content. > A core driver for the success of WikiEducator community is very likely > the sharing of content.

WE suport an Open Everything <http://openeverything.wik.is/> disposition -- Open everything is a global conversation about the art, science and spirit of 'open'. It gathers people using openness to create and improve software, education, media, philanthropy, architecture, neighbourhoods, workplaces and the society we live in: everything. It's about thinking, doing and being open. (With thanks and acknowledgement to Mark Surman over at the Mozilla Foundation for inspiring the world to "Open Everything".)
