Hi!
I would like to invite you to our conference call: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Best_practices_documentation_team/Meetings/Ou...
Please, sign up if you want to attend!
This is our agenda:
1) Long-term objectives for the Best practices pages: What level is realistic? - Wikibooks: Günter - Partnerships with universities: Jan and Piotr 2) Present the idea of a brochure for universities 3) How to collect on Best practices in exercises for Wikipedia newcomershttp://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Best_practices_in_exercises_for_Wikipedia_newcomers?
Moderator: Kathrin
Please, let me know if there is anything else you want to discuss!

Since this is a Skype call, I think it's fairly critical for folks to provide their Skype names. I've added mine to the wiki page.
Also, I'm assuming that Kathrin will initiate the conference call (inviting everyone else). [It doesn't matter who does this, but two different people shouldn't try at the same time, of course.]

P.S. Regarding point number 2, I suggest people take a look at http://howto.pediapress.com/wiki/Wikipedia_Educator%27s_Guide (I've also added this link to the wiki page).

"This Wikipedia Educator's Guide is a project of the Wikimedia Foundation."
A great example of how little coordination there is between different people interested in those issues, which results in doubling the effort (as we say in Poland, "rediscovering America"). I, for one, have never ever heard of this project... as far as I can tell, it was never mentioned/linked at WP:SUP/Wikiproject:Classroom Coordination (although it does link those, as well as my article, in its resource section).
It seems that that project was mostly created by wiki editor John Broughton http://howto.pediapress.com/wiki/Special:Contributions/John_Broughton I suggest we invite him to our group, and discuss how we can best pool our resources together (including merging our two how-to guides for educators, as they do overlap significantly).

Ha, I guess I got confused by unformatted email address when I was double checking for John's name in our group :)
John, you may want to edit your email client to add those :) Sorry about not realizing you are already here.
