Hi John, Excellent timing :-).
Over the last year or so, I've been thinking a lot about how the OER (teaching) and Open Access (largely research) communities can start working more effectively and productively together. With particular reference to research-led teaching universities there is considerable overlap. WE are planning to launch Wikiresearcher.org in the near future -- this would be an open collaboration for planning, conducting and publishing research findings the wiki way. Given our open licensing policy, it would be relatively easy to have an open API to facilitate export of articles for the peer review process managed by the Open Access Journals. The OER Foundation's partnership with Athabasca Univeristy in providing hosting services for WE is quite strategic. To the best of our knowledge, Athabasca University Press is the first University press which publishes all its work under open access licenses. Is Wikiresearcher.org a viable project? Are there folk interested in helping to plan, shape and build an open wiki research collaboration? Thoughts?
