    Hi everyone,

    UNESCO have established a social networking platform for OER
    community discussions with particular emphasis on building policy
    for sustainable OER futures.

    I must compliment Abel Caine and the team at the UNESCO's
    Communication and Information sector because:

        * This fills an important gap in the burgeoning field of OER
          -- namely focused international discussions on policy
          development for open education.
        * UNESCO have listened to the feedback and comments from many
          OER practitioners around the world for a web-based
          environment for these open discussions -  preferably a list
          which remains open and not "closed down" after each
          scheduled discussion.
        * Running the platform using the popular open source elgg
          <http://www.elgg.org/> environement. I understand that
          UNESCO have contributed code improvements back to the
          community. Well done UNESCO!

    I encourage all WikiEducators with an interest in helping form and
    co-design international policy around OERs to join the community.

    See:

    I look forward to sharing ideas with international colleagues via
    this great community resource.

    Cheers
    Wayne
