Hi Federico -
Thanks for your question about the coop. There a plans for the co-op to be launched at Wikimania. Initial on-wiki information about the current status is here (but it's rather limited): https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Education_Portal/Newsletter/March_2014/E...
Best wishes,
Toni

The Education Co-op (in formation) may be an appropriate catalyst for
this, but there may be scope beyond this grouping. I say this mainly because the co-op is still in the process of seeking clarity in terms of its goals and scope. At present, the co-op seems to be focused mainly on higher education (18+) but we need clear(er) guidelines for work in Education setting with people who are under 18 and even under 16, if not under 11.
I asked about this on https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants_talk:APG/ Proposals/2013-2014_round2/Wikimedia_Foundation/Proposal_form too, but is there some on-wiki documentation of the co-op current status etc.?
