(Comment.gif: Chris -- this is a brilliant idea!!! -- I started playing a little on this page, but given its significance I recommend that the page is moved into the main namespace of the wiki -- Folk may be reluctant to edit a subpage in the User namespace because this is a personal user space. In the edit history you will see that I have attributed you as the source and tweaked the layout a little. See: OER_timeline --Wayne Mackintosh 03:56, 27 July 2009 (UTC))

Great idea Wayne! How do I delete this one in the namespace?
