One alternative option would be to work with the Education folks and create Wikimedia centric lesson plans for teachers to use that share the values people are expressing. These can be linked on education outreach pages, distributed to chapters, etc. Or general handouts can be made that explain these concepts ad the linked on https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Bookshelf . This is a nice option because it is pro-active and community driven. If some one does approach the WMF externally asking for support on this issue, they have the materials to then work with. -- twitter: purplepopple blog: ozziesport.com _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list Wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l, <mailto:wikimedia-l-requ...@lists.wikimedia.org?subject=unsubscribe>
