Hi Peter, Thanks for starting this thread --- these are tough and challenging questions.
I think we need to think about whose temperature we're measuring <smile>. Is it the content or is it the community. So when we're talking about the health of the WE OER community -- this is something different from the health of the Grade 7 Geography lesson for Pakistan. Stated conversely -- if exemplary content only has one or two authors, does this mean the community is unhealthy? So the list of questions are measurements (or data) -- but not necessarily value judgements about the health of the object -- if you know what I mean. To stretch the health example -- cold blooded animals would be healthy if they're at room temparature I guess, -- but the actual measurement would not necessarily be indicative of a health mamal. Sorry -- I'm not a Zoologist <smile> -- but hope the analogy works. Cheers Wayne On May 6, 8:18 am, Peter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I think this is a timely question.
