Hi all,
I've created a mailing list to bring together our education contacts
and volunteers who are interested in helping educational projects.
Long overdue, I know. Despite the name, Wikiversitans and other
Wikimedians are very much welcome.
The mailing list home page and subscription instructions are here:

https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/webadmin?SUBED1=WIKIPEDIA-INTEREST-GROUP
Messages are publicly archived and the list membership is open for
review, *but* it's possible to set an option to hide your email
address from the review.
The description follows:
For anyone in the UK wanting to implement or support educational
projects that use Wikipedia or its sister projects such as Wikibooks
and Wikiversity. The list can be used for announcements of relevant
activities, and offers or requests for help in making things happen.
It is a UK-focused list, not meant to duplicate the global Wikimedia
in Education mailing list.
To keep down traffic, the list is intended mainly for announcements
rather than discussion: if you want list members' perspectives on a
topic, create a post on a blog, forum or wiki and post the link.
We have much to discuss: September's EduWiki Conference, Wikimedia
UK's education strategy and recruitment of education staff, creating
publicity materials to credibly set out how Wikimedia UK and Wikipedia
can support educators, and setting up an Ambassador network in the UK.

The principles of Good Faith Collaboration that we use in creating
Wikipedia also apply in this mailing list.
