Hi Sophie,
I support your idea.
Also I want to hear more about implementation of the MediaWiki extension
- Education Program [1], as I know only in en.wikipedia is implemented,
and it is used in US, CA, GB, and Somalia? I really want to learn more
about this extension, from technical view point and from the view point
of practical implementation.
Best regards,
Dimce, WMMK

Dear all,
I'm so curious to know more about what everybody does within their
education programmes around the world, especially after hearing about
what Jan Ainali at Wikimedia Sverige has told me about the education
day in Milan.
So, I thought about how we best may share this, and this may
definitely not be the absolutely best idea but I'll just send it out
to you to see what you might think.
So, I've put the people together that I know work with education and
in or in close collaboration with Wikimedia in one or another way, in
groups of three. You may see this here:

<https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Askq1OTvde8HdFdjMURpNXNyY1JXaDdPeTRFbS1tMUE&usp=sharing>
So my first idea is to simply have a hangout in these groups where we
share ideas about our various education programmes. It would be great
to hear something about:
* Structure of the programme
* Current activities
* Successes
* Mistakes (or rather, things to learn from)
Please do add any aspects you may find relevant for a talk like this.
I would suggest that these conversations are to take place in May if
that may be possible, and that we briefly summarise what we have
learned during these talks so we can all take part of everybody's
conversations. The reason I only put three per groups is to make it
easier to find a time that works for everyone, and also to make time
for dialogue which is may be better with fewer people.
Please do let me know what you think about this, and if someone is
forgotten, please do add yourself to the list, we may be four in
groups (and it is four in a group already).
And do you generally find this to be a good idea?
My hope is that this will have us learn from each other, and to feel
more connected with our various educational efforts and ideas.
I wish you all a great weekend!
