I agree, such a noticeboard would be really valuable - a couple caveats:
- Let's not end up with a proliferation of noticeboards, all poorly watched. One central board for all WEP concerns is fine for now, and if it gets too noisy it can be split on-demand.
- Let's make sure that *all* Wikipedians are welcome to discuss concerns with WEP students, or in fact any students editing as part of a class, at the noticeboard. One way to encourage this is to put it in its own place in project space, rather than buried under the WEP page.
Since the concerns my ideal board covers are slightly broader than the WEP, I'm suggesting that we create it at a location like:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Education_noticeboard
I could create this and outline its purpose at the top. Any thoughts?

Sounds good to me. How can we make sure that people who raise issues on that page will get actual help? It would be too bad if this was just a page for complaints (instead of also including a meaningful way of encouraging positive action).
