I think it's been hibernating for a while. I haven't heard it mentioned at all since the new Board took office.

Of course, if someone wants to pick up the ball and run with it, that would be very welcome. Whereabouts are you, Tom?

Regards,

Chris

Hey all,

What is the status of our work with schools/education? http://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/Initiatives/Schools_project seems to be a little stagnant, there are references to other School interactions on the Wiki (including a link to a hidden office page about the educational budget).

Is any of this still active?

I only ask because I've been approached locally to do some in-school work relating to Wikipedia and it occurred to me that this is a major area we could be focusing on.

I've got a decent amount of experience working with children, schools and educators and it would be great to contribute that on a wider scale.

If none of those projects are particularly active, would anyone be interested in working on this (including volunteering to go into schools and youth groups)?
