Let me know what you think.

A while back we set up a wiki for WordCampEd and encouraged attendees to share their hacks there (http://wordcamped.org/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page) — but didn’t do a great job getting the word out. There aren’t a ton of links on it as of today, but maybe a wiki (either this one, or something different) could serve as the glue between all of the separate blog posts and ideas that are scattered about.

@Andre – Out with it already! I’m dying over here!

@Alex – You hit the nail on the head. We edtechers are the ones who are largely charged with enabling openness on behalf of students and faculty. It would be a real crime if we weren’t just as open ourselves.

@Enej – Yes!! I’ve added oltdev to my feedreader. Your little post from this morning – on hacking images into the header of the Thesis theme – is a perfect example of the little bits of sharing that can add up to a lot. I can’t wait to read more of what you guys put up.

@Jim – The stuff you do at the Bava is an inspiration for this kind of openness – the kind of advice and wisdom you’ve collected for people who are setting up WPMu and related software parallels the kind of community I’d like to see arise around the development and extension of these softwares. I can’t wait to hear about Andre’s scheme. The fact that you call it a “scheme” makes me think it will be dope.

This is right on, blogging one’s process with these hacks and development is perhaps the most important way to open up the possibilities, but also to push one’s self into the community on a broader scale. I found it invaluable over the last three years, and Andre Malan has been scheming up a plan to perhaps make this a wider community effort beyond UBC OLT and CUNY—it’s really promising.

Glad you enjoyed OpenEd, there was a ton of good energy, and you can;t really ask for a better group of folks.
