Hello again! At this point I wanted to share with you our notes and immediate plans, so that you can all comment and give you input. What follows is a proposal for the new front page text – I will replace the current Web Edu CG placeholder text with this, after soliciting a round of feedback, so long as that feedback doesn’t bring up any show stoppers, of course. You have until September 7th to submit feedback on this.<\/p>\n
there are also some notes later on in the post, discussing further ideas, which I would like your opinions on.<\/p>\n
Have fun!<\/p>\n

The Web Education Community Group (CG) aims to evolve the Web and improve the overall skill set of the web industry by improving the quality of available web education resources and courses around the world. To do this, we are engaging in several activities, which are the responsibilities of different sub-groups inside the CG:<\/p>\n
If you want to contribute to this CG, following these steps:<\/p>\n
I’d like to stress that all opinions and ideas will be considered equally inside the group. No one is better or more valued than anyone else, so please don’t be afraid to speak your mind!<\/p>\n
Thanks for reading!<\/p>\n

TBC – really this can be decided by the different sub-group activity leads.<\/p>\n
I think that – if possible – we should list the sub-group pages down the side, and that they should replace the \u201cView all participants\u201d page. Thoughts?<\/p>\n
I would like to have a landing page available for each sub-group, which lists:<\/p>\n
We should have two levels of commitment: those who commit to spend time managing a project (project leads<\/em>), and those who contribute to the project (contributors<\/em>).<\/p>\n This should not be confused with rank, authority, or superiority; this is simple organization. That said, there is an aspect of meritocracy involved: to be considered as one of the project leads, a person has to demonstrate the skills and motivation to contribute effectively.<\/p>\n Everyone in the WebEd CG will be subscribed to the public-webed and public-webed-contrib lists; project leads will also be subscribed to internal-webed and internal-webed-contrib, but these lists should only be used sparingly, for administrivia. Project leads will also take part in regular meetings, and be responsible for representing the ideas and status of their projects, and relating meeting information back to their project contributors. All minutes will be public.<\/p>\n Everyone can participating in as many (or as few) projects as they have time for.<\/p>\n The purpose of each list is as follows:<\/p>\n We want to partner with educational institutions and trainers to provide training and certification that will utilise our material to provide a best practice, consistent, high quality standards of web development education. All the material will be free for anyone who wants to use it, but the W3C will make some money from the certification aspect (see below), and perhaps training activities of our own in the future.<\/p>\n We agree that it’s needed. we could treat it like MCSE, or Adobe qualifications. Quality control too. certification is the fastest path to gross legitimacy\/revenue.<\/p>\n Hello again!
