Yes, very exciting to see progress.

MOOCs are just taking off here in the UK and there's a lot of interest, a lot of both good and bad experiences being reported. Institutions are keen to get on the bandwagon. I think news of a Wikipedia MOOC would generate a lot of interest from the UK.

One very influential education consultant told me recently that Wikimedia would be the ideal, credible entity to *provide* MOOCs, being institution-neutral and noncommerical, but as the proposal discussion notes, we don't really have the infrastructure ourselves yet.

Congrats, Sage.
