Should we simply start with a featured article and a featured reuse?
Hi Peter, I think this is an excellent idea.
It's a starting point for us to think about the many facets of quality. What I also like about this approach is that it would be optional -- a project is nominated and then evaluated by the community. In this way we avoid alienating newbies and as you say give the community something to aspire to.
In addition to the featured teaching and reuse resources, I think we should also add categories for the feature institution -- ie a reward and incentive for institutions who adopt WE in a substantive way and also innovative projects that contribute to the sustainable development of OERs.
I've started a couple of sub-pages for each of these categories so that we can work on criteria, processes and supporting tools for the featured candidates.
