WikiEducator has been hosted on Amazon EC2 since February, 2010. (Before that it was on its own server in a German data center. It started life on a desktop box under someone's desk.) http://wikieducator.org/WikiEducator_Early_History WE is not a part of The Wikimedia Foundation, but an independent project backed by the OER Foundation and with its own community governance council. > I wonder if it isn’t time for The Wikipedia Foundation to consider > using an “open” cloud provider.
