Hi All,

We would like to take this opportunity to announce the new Wikimedia Education list. During the past Wikimania conferences we seen incredible examples of the educational use within Wikimedia projects. During the recent chapter conference in Berlin we saw some more. These are often not related to a specific project and often have subject matter which involves a different audience than the other general mailing lists. Thats why we decided to start a new mailing list which will hopefully foster creative discussion on the topic at hand.

So what would we like to discuss on this list:

* Educational use of Wikimedia content or projects * Best practices * Educational Licensing * Educational Outreach * Other Open Educational Resource Projects * Anything else that is education related :)

Everyone is welcome to post to the list. You can subscribe to the list at https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/education The list will be moderated by Cormaggio, Jan-Bart and Louriepieterse.

Hope to see you there!

Cormaggio, Jan-Bart and Lourie

PS: Small disclaimer: although Jan-Bart is a member of the Board of Trustees, this is not an offical WMF initiative, but a community initiative.
