Thread:Early discussion for a new candidate (1)

This candidate would be an attempt to utilise a single universal symbol for education.

The symbol
The universal symbol could be a green slate chalkboard with wooden frame. The chalkboard has been used centuries into the world's history for the purpose of education, even up to the last decade and maybe even still today.

The chalkboard could be placed in front of a depiction of the world, and held onto or passed between different coloured hands.

The name
WikiEducator would be written in chalk on the slate.

The motto
Wayne said that "free eLearning content" doesn't even begin to really cover what WE is all about. So I'm wondering if we should experiment with other ideas:


 * Open source education
 * Something with the made-up word "shareducation", a play on the term share-ware
 * similar to above, but the term is "share-learn"
 * A browser might ask, "what on earth is a share-learn resource?" and get into the site just to learn the term.
 * Anything that plays on the culture of open source information and tools.
