[Foundation-l] Statement on appropriate educational content

[Yann Forget]

Hi,

2010/5/8 Ting Chen <wing.philopp at gmx.de>:

I beg to disagree about the educational value of WS and Commons. I
think that historical documents, wheiher they are texts, images,
videos or sounds, have an educational value in themselves, whatever
happens on other projects.
