Hi Sylvia, 

I'm glad to be able to listen in. I'm looking forward to learning how things develop. I was a very enthusiatic  Wikieducator, but lost my way when the OER university initiative began as it opened doors for universities, but closed doors for me as an independent educator. I will be lurking if that's acceptable as I don't represent a university.

Nellie, if you don't represent a university in this discussion my guess is you're not alone! Welcome back to SCoPE, and as you know, lurking to learn is always acceptable here. Heck, I do it all the time :-)
