This would be useful for a number of projects. It would be useful to have
this sort of list from smaller countries as well.
We could use a system for collaboratively building structured datasets
such as these around Wikimedia projects... perhaps the Open Library folks
can help in this regard. (would any of the semwiki projects scale to
querying millions of records?)

Hi Durova
I have a list of 23,101 UK schools. I am not sure how good it is or how
many are primary/secondary/colleges/unis but I do know that 17,000+ have
email addresses. If this would be of interest let me know.
Best regards

Subject: [Foundation-l] WikProject Classroom coordination
With fall semester coming up, now is a good time to let
educators know about one of our resources.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Classroom_c
oordination
This project aims to help professors and teachers who
incorporate Wikipedia editing assignments into their
curricula. Instead of (or as an adjunct to) regular student
term papers, students would make cited improvements to
Wikipedia articles.
How does the Foundation usually get the word out about
something like this?
I think the *Chronicle of Higher Education* would be
interested in running a notice if they were informed about
the project. Should I get in touch with them, or are there
others who have contacts already?
