As far as funding goes, I agree - the plan that Jeremy and I kicked around a few months ago was to put together an application for the Shuttleworth foundation, who back open source efforts in many different fields. I was a bit disheartened recently, when I checked back at their site to find that they are offering specific advice against pitching them OER projects;
We’ve invested in OERs, education platforms and re-imagining peer learning before. Although this remains important in the world, it no longer automatically meets our criteria. We will need considerable evidence of innovation.:" Not that I'm suggesting we don't have a truly innovative proposition, but it's evidence that the 'education space' is rapidly filling up with many uninspired offerings from startups all over the world. I haven't looked at the Ford foundation - I'll do that soon - and there's also the Knight foundation. I am really keen to be involved in a project like this and it would be great to see if we could all work together in some way. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
