Yes Wayne, I get that sense too. I would consider myself rather low on the totem pole, in terms of understanding the OER / L4C and everything it's about. I am grateful for the work you put in, and the community you are building. I was glad to be welcomed and to be offered high enough certification (WikiBuddy) to feel included. I continue to monitor the list and marvel at our diversity. Kirby -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "WikiEducator" group.
