Welcome to Wikipedia and Communicate OER!

Thank you for signing up on the
WP:Communicate OER Team
.
Whether or not you're at the Open Education conference this week, we encourage you to engage with us -- we're expecting a flurry of activity as we launch! If you're here, come visit us in room C010 any time; or come to one of our daily 45 minute intro sessions in the Remixathon track in room C215.
Another great way to stay engaged is through the project's "talk page" (aka "discussion page"):
WT:COMMOER. Please always feel free to add ideas, questions, etc. at the bottom of that page -- even if you just want to say hi, and go into a little more detail about what you're hoping to work on -- we'd love to hear from you. (I just posted a note at the bottom, exploring the open education
article, and seeking input into how we can go about improving it -- take a look!)
If you're just looking to get started, we have a page for that --
WP:Communicate OER Do
-- intended to collect ideas of projects we can work on. There's currently a "getting started" recipe for how to post a review of a Wikipedia article; check back for further ideas in the coming days. (And if you're game, feel free to add your own!)
Looking forward to working together, -Pete (talk) 18:24, 16 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
