Hi Bjoern,
I would help you with secondary sources . Will help out with the template for stubs too.
No article in Wikipedia is incomplete or complete .:-) Its just stub or otherwise.
Would post the documents shortly.

Hi Stuart,
many thanks.
What secondary sources would be appropriate? E.g. linking to research
articles (published in journals, peer-reviewed)? Or (given that those are written by people involved), do they count as primary sources? THere are some referneces from other organisations to us, so that would work.
What sort of banner should we put at the top of the article to flag that
it's not complete?

Hi Bjoern,
I think it's a great idea to create Wikipedia articles for these
projects. The article for OER4Schools will need quite a lot of work to make it appropriate for Wikipedia; every statement must be referenced, and it can't rely only on primary sources (e.g. the OER4Schools website).
If you know of other sources that discuss the project, please add them
or references or list them on the article's talk page for other people to look at.
If you like, you could propose similar articles on the WikiProject Open
talk page.
Thanks,
Stuart

Dear all,
I am currently at the UNESCO Mobile Learning Week, and I thought I'd
raise something for discussion.
Should there be wikipedia entries on projects that are to do with
"open"? I.e. an entry describing the project?
Should there be wikipedia entries on educational projects?
E.g. the significant UNESCO TISSA project, or the CREATE project
http://www.create-rpc.org/ are not on wikipedia. Larger scale projects, such as EfA / GMR:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Education_For_All https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Education_for_All_Global_Monitoring_Report are represented.
Background: People at the UNESCO Mobile Learning Week here are saying
that it's difficult to find out about other projects, and I would advocate that we should use wikipedia to share basic information, rather than setting up a separate platform.
For example I've just created this page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OER4Schools It's fairly unbiased, but at the same time, I am a key person within
the project. So while I could defend the neutrality of the article, it may still be frowned upon.
What do people think?
All the best, Bjoern
