Editor's Notes
- #10 The idea of something like a Curriki began at a world education conference that Sun hosted in Madrid in 2002. The GELC was a project within Sun until it became an independent non-profit in 2006. Since then, Curriki has developed its functionality, grown it’s membership base and focused on building a base of quality content. So much has been accomplished by a handful of people in 6 years.
- #24 Curriki has big goals for the future. Curriki was built on an Xwiki platform and we have gotten to absolute most out of that platform as is possible. In order to accomplish the goals we have for Curriki, we need grow and improve the platform to enabled the additional functionality we want to add to the site.
