Hi Michael,

Re: the jumble on the page, yep. But I do like to see if any of these
widgets has legs.
Thanks for this. I'll keep staring at it from time to time until I
see what order might be the best orientation/layout.

What me change my habits! Guilty as charged sir. Give me a bit. Wikis
are cumbersome. I'm more at home editing videos.
It's only that I'm across a lot of overlapping conversations (in lots
of languages) and this WC3 doc popped up because I was thinking about
how the OER foundation and many other related "open access"
initiatives might come together. E.g. http://www.w3.org/community/
There's a lot of "community building" going on around the traps, each
with their preferred (singular) tool and approach.

I agree with you about successful content on wikis being set up as a
complete project. The problem we do have in the edu and gov worlds is
getting global groups/communities together. Obviously everyone has a
preference for tools, and until now that's been a main aggregator.
Getting an attractive (easy to use) combination together is
difficult.There's also a discussion going on over at wikimedia
foundation about the different policies that are required for wikiuni
= one open to everyone, one for specialized peers. Trying to figure
out where a social network finishes and an LMS starts is quite a
challenge, eh?

Anyway, thanks for this page. It's one that I'll use as a mental
anchor. Cheers,
