[Wikimediaau-l] Wikipedia and schools

[Craig Franklin]

Anyone for a mini-project then? =).  The existing SOS selection looks like it'll be a good base, but adding more "Australian" themed articles to it would probably be a nice attention grabber when we go talking to schools.

Cheers,
Craig

  Perhaps that's something the WMA could commit to working towards? I think that would be quite a reasonable outcome.

    I really like this product, but maybe we should look at providing a tweaked
    version for Australian schools with more "Australian" topics (ie: less
    American Presidents and more Australian Prime Ministers).

    Cheers,
    Craig
