Anil, Alison -- Just a quick note from Samoa --- I'm very excited about the community involvement in taking the CCNC forward.
Our experiences in developing the OER Handbook collaboratively provided a couple of useful lessons: 1) Set up a style guide page for discussion and agreeing on style conventions for the CCNC development, see for example: http://www.wikieducator.org/OER_Handbook/educator/Style_guide 2) During the development of the OER Handbook -- we set up an "Issue tracker" page to keep track of all the issues, discussions and resolutions. You can view an archived example here: http://www.wikieducator.org/OER_Handbook/educator/version_one_issue_tracker Hope this helps --- it worked well for us on the OER Handbook project and I'm sure it will help with the CCNC. It would be great if we could automate some of this using templates etc. I'll take a look when I get back to NZ.

I reviewed Module 4 and put my thoughts/suggestions in a discussion thread on the Mod 4 talk page. However, this doesn't seem like the best place to put the notes. It seems like we could use these kinds of notes to create a lists of "todo's" and "issues" along with people's comments about different items. I'm already thinking I want to edit my notes, which I can do in their present place, but it's not conducive to others adding comments about particular items -- will get out of hand pretty quickly I think. I'm wondering if we should make work pages for each of the modules (maybe a new item in the 'project home' sequence) and also one for the whole CCNC (to add cross-module ideas/thoughts/questions). Although many of the items I commented on need discussion and consensus, there are some that I could get going on (e.g., re-working first page in charts section to include images and links to definitions in MathGloss as well as some editing to the text). Let me know your thoughts. Alison On Sun, Mar 15, 2009 at 12:51 AM, Anil <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi Alison, > > Warm welcome onboard.
