assuming you mean wikimedia.org.au - it probably will be its own wiki,
soon enough.

I did say a mailing list for a reason. I don't think using a wiki to
help people who aren't very familiar with wikis is very sensible. And
have we not learned yet that wikis are *bad* at discussion pages?
Gosh.

And we can run our own mailing lists... and I think it is sensible that we do!

Basically I want to set it up so that in my talks I can point people
to it. Wikimedians who are interested in it (i.e.
<http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Australia/Education_Committee>)
can join and hopefully some educators will join and then we can help
each other out. I wouldn't recommend teachers to join this list, for
example.

cheers
Brianna
