I shelled out the 99 cents at Amazon, and hope others do too, to support your writing. I think there's another movement that will grow to replace credentials as the sine qua non of credibility with respect to education. That's the professional portfolio, connected to professional social nets. I wrote about the idea here: http://highered.blogspot.com/2011/11/end-of-preparation.html Keep up the great work! dave Anya, thanks for writing this.

(Though note the point of a wiki is that *you* don't need to edit, although if there's a spam problem and not much real usage you could be left with a mess.)

My main problem is maintenance time--i dont know if i have the time to monitor and edit a large volume of contributions on an ongoing basis, nor do I have funding commitment for hosting past 1 year. What if I took the most useful parts of the guide and submitted them to an existing wiki like Wikieducator or Wikiuniversity? Hi Bill, thanks, I’m considering it.

As a resource directory in a fast-changing area it could use regular updating. 2. Easier to manage/add cross-referencing would be useful. 3. I think some more structuring/framing content could make what you have really useful, and a wiki environment would make it easier to add/use this without having to re-do everything else. http://webseitz.fluxent.com/wiki/EdupunksGuideToADiyCredential I encourage you to put this info online as a wiki instead of a final “published” website.

The Sribd website (http://www.scribd.com/doc/60954896/EdupunksGuide) requires personal data as a must to let one download the book: I found it a bit unfair by Scribd, it looks like a way to pay the book with one's personal data (a very valuable good in today's market). Then I could freely download the guide here (hope it can useful for other readers): http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/77938. (by the way, the .rtf version seems not to work; .pdf is ok) Thank you again, BM Thanks for your work.
