Hi Bjoern, I think it's a great idea to create Wikipedia articles for these projects. The article for OER4Schools <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OER4Schools> will need quite a lot of work to make it appropriate for Wikipedia; every statement must be referenced, and it can't rely only on primary sources (e.g. the OER4Schools website).
If you know of other sources that discuss the project, please add them or references or list them on the article's talk page for other people to look at. If you like, you could propose similar articles on the WikiProject Open talk page <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Open>.
