Hi John, The UNESCO-COL chair for OER at Athabasca University is developing a "knowledge cloud" for hosting OER related documents. This will be an appropriate repository for this OER historical record. By working with the UNESCO-COL Chair for OER we can avoid unnessary duplication of effort.
I think WE should set up an instruction page for WikiEducators on how to deposit relevant OER artificacts. I'll approach Rory to discuss this idea.
