Having above will help us to focus effort on specific software and initiate interest to develop missing. There is a lot of guys out there that are developing n+1 editor (or whatever) , maybe we can attract them by opening projects on sourceforge.net, for instance.

I don't even know what the above paragraph means, I do know what sourceforge is, LOL

It means that many people look for something to do and take time to make another software that exists in many versions, for instance text editor. They can find more appealing to stretch their muscles on something that will have some really good purpose.

And the http://sourceforge.net is the web site where anybody can start some kind of software project and it is possible to find a lot of developers. As you can see there is no education category, so there is chance to start something.

Sir, So what we really need is someone to manage the postings and the volunteers, someone who understands all the lingo and qualifications of the components necessary to pull this together. Do you know anyone?

No for now, but the Education has more views that many older wiki pages, so it is matter of time to have more members.

THIS IS GOOD NEWS!

I am not a project manager, not of this magnitude anyway, should we hold an election? create a board?

You never know until you try. I think, I'm going to ask for a board of trustees.

I have asked a prominent activist for an opensource education management stack from Florida to join us to add to the knowledge base on the subject. I have not heard from him, directly.

I'm sure he looked at the page and will come soon.

...

This needs a full time product manager with a well equipped team to manage it.

Probably, but many hands can do a miracle.

...

I am very willing to convey what I think and would like to see in the finished product, and anything I can do to forward this effort. I am a humble public servant without the resources to pull this off alone. Where do we start? James

I'm already looking the sf.net for programs. The category Education is not listed on the front page, but under all categories there is with more than 4000 projects. http://sourceforge.net/softwaremap/trove_list.php?form_cat=71 Enough work for some time :-)
