Hello everyone,

First, thank you, James for sharing and reviving interest in revision scoring. It is really an important aspect of education programs but unfortunately not many of the program volunteers around the world paid much attention to it before. I would also like to thank Alex Stinson for sharing that inspire campaign grant proposal with us. He was right in his endorsement mentioning the Wiki Education Foundation as they take care of/manage Wikipedia Education Program in the US and Canada. They would be the best people to contact concerning Wikipedia education activities there.

It was great that you thought of IdeaLab, James! We always say "Be bold" which means that it would be better to see your ideas expressed on wiki by your hands, so, please be bold, start the IdeaLab page and share the link with us.

Please don't hesitate to contact me with any questions you may have.

Sincerely,

Samir

What's important about the coalition: he is going to be involving a number of people active in the Digital Humanities: a field that has overlapping interests and skills that would be useful for the Wikipedia Education program, but in which we are only starting to see Wikipedia approached as a tool of interest.

I would agree with Alex here. Digital Humanities (DH) means different things to different people, but combines "data led" with "reaches the parts others don't" for Wikimedia in an enticing way. It's a big discussion. Just one point: it helps to think of sister projects (Commons, Wikisource, Wikidata) coming together in the offering.
