Hello,

Inspired by the EFF's Teaching Copyright project, a thread on this list 
form last month, [0] and a post from Howard Knopf, [1] I've put together 
a website with the intent of trying to create a balanced Canadian 
copyright teaching resource.

http://understandingcopyright.ca/

There's a wiki where I hope that knowledgeable folks can come together 
and built something useful for Canada. It's licensed CC BY-SA, so it's 
compatible with Wikipedia, the EFF's Teaching Copyright and Andy 
Kaplan-Myrth's learning module. I've tried to put up some starting 
content and ideas. I've also set up mailing lists for announcements and 
discussion.

The basic idea is to develop the materials on the wiki, and then run 
them by some legal and educational experts before releasing a 'stable' 
version.

I'd love to get feedback from this list. Do you think it's a good idea? 
Would you be interested in participating? Any suggestions on how/where 
to promote this?

Thanks,
Blaise Alleyne
