Hi Valerie, Your community service project is a fantastic initiative, not too mention that WE is a real live community project :-)
Thinking about community service projects within WE: - WikiEducator has a major challenge regarding proper license attribution of images uploaded on our site --- we need help in identifying and tagging suspect images --- we would need to think about process and support templates to tackle an initiative like this. This may tie up with identifying images which need replacement and or students helping to find appropriate replacements licensed under a free content license. - We need helpers, with relevant wiki skills who are qualified (or who could potentially qualify) at the level of WikiBuddy to assist with the certificaiton of past L4C participants under the Wikimaster typology ( http://wikieducator.org/WikiMaster ). There are unfortunately a large number of L4C participants who have not formerly applied for certification, or where the facilitor had ommitted to apply the certification. This is a very important task under WE's monitoring and evaluation plan to accurately access the skills profile of WE users in accordance with the different categories under the WikiMaster typology. - Translation work on tutorials etc is always well received. I'm sure there are many other projects in WE where we would benefit from community service hours :-).
