that's right, they're great. i've come across their initiative http://www.oercommons.org/ a number of times.
dunno about a facebook group, but probably :-). seems like a good approach might be to develop the material locally to a basic standard of quality (ie on our own wiki) and then release/copy/link it to other networks and repositories, tracking and updating improvements and developments as their made? though i still really like the idea of this list/network and the CoCo site being available as a resource for those interested in giving and developing such material. and of course as a nexus and hub for Cooperation Studies ;-)...
