Now largely outdated.
* Do you feel that ALL occurrences of abbreviations should redirect to the full programme names, with the actual content residing under the full name page? (e.g. move the UKeU content to a full name page, with the abbreviation page set as a redirect only?) <del> Also, should we "activate" ALL abbreviation links, i.e. on the programmes list *and* within each programme page? Where they occur in country pages, etc? </del>


* So far I see only a workshop programme (in Spanish) for the Ibero-American forum... http://www.online-educa.com/iberoamerica-forum-programme. Shall I troll the entities that look like potentially relevant programmes or leave it for now? Anything jump out for you?

* <del> Should new additions have glaring relevance to Re.ViCa (i.e. distance learning oozing from their pores already) or is it enough that <name> mentions a recent visit to meet with their dean? [this question is in reference to emails c. 10/2008] </del>
 
* <del> ...I am contemplating how to decide whether institutions already named in reports like [the one in Paul's Japan Report email] should be added to the programmes list. For example, it sounds like some of the Japanese universities have very serious e-learning initiatives underway. <del> In fact I often spot examples listed in country reports which do not (yet?) have entries in our programmes list. Would we say that, if it is mentioned anywhere in the wiki, it requires at least a stub? [semi-outdated question as of 1/2009] </del>
 
* How far from academia do we stray? The Pipeline Project at http://www.pipeline-project.org/ is of interest but I take it that a
"prisoner education" project is too far out of bounds for our purposes?

Sara, you said "does category:remove work" on eCollege. Well if you consider human actions, it works! I use the category:remove to give people the opportunity to save the entry from removal, but once in a while I go into the dead-end pages, orphaned pages, double redirects and also category:remove and I try to clean everything up a bit. if you've come across a better / automated system or you would like to just remove it immediately, do let me know and I'll do the same. --[[User:NikkiCortoos|NikkiCortoos]] 17:04, 6 August 2009 (CEST)
