Thanks Anil -- Appreciate the feedback.
I agree OERu is a health tonic! An ideal tonic for a post-secondary education system which is grappling to widen access to quality learning opportunities for the predicted additional 98 million learners who will be seeking places in the system. Collectively we are planning to find solutions. More information on how you can help coming soon ... Jan Visser also alerted me to a typo in two of the urls. I've fixed these in the wiki version.
