[Oer-community] Forwarded message from Fred Mulder

[Dr Giorgi Pkhakadze]

Dear Colleagues,



It is a great initiative and I believe all experts in the field will
support it. It has to be mentioned that vast range of information available
worldwide and it is important to put system in the place were available
information will be accessible on the sustainable and continues manner.
Involvement of regional and local partners (at country/state (for example
in India) level) will be crucial.



Availability of resources should also take into account not only
geographical distribution but also linguistic one with possibilities to
translate it into local languages (using available tools such as Google
translate etc.).



I agree with colleges that roster (global/regional) with all experts will
be a beneficial tool as well.



With best regards,


Giorgi
