It's so easy even 7 year old children can do it. If you are able to move a mouse, click a few buttons and string a few sentences together you can maintain a cutting edge site.

Our killer features are:
Superb content management and blog software. Excellent Google optimisation.

Open education, for all

Open education, for all
Wikipedia, Ubuntu founders back 'open education': ""We have seen over the last 20 years how open-source software, which is produced collaboratively, has been used to solve individual problems but then shared to solve everyone's problems," said Shuttleworth. "Today, I hope we will launch a process that will build something similarly compelling but for the educational field. It will be extraordinary one day to have teachers in New Zealand collaborating with students in China to create documents that will be used by learners in South America.""

Think about all those lesson plans and projects you're doing in your council's VLE at the moment. Why aren't you doing it in a format that can be imported and exported into the open source Moodle? Moodle is used by millions of learners. The BBC is one of the best Internet educational publishers. I hope they'd open their files for translation, but I'm sure they bought those items in, and would have to pay lots more to have them redone in a 1,000 languages.

Here's the declaration.

It's a great idea, and I'm sure it will take off, eventually. But it's started now. All power to open education.

At this time, there's not too many signatories: 600+ individuals. And only, only 30 from the UK! I've signed up. I wish they had a logo and better branding. It would be useful to be able to add a button to my site, to get the word out better, faster.
