A couple new sections (1)
There have been no changes to this discussion for at least 14 days. If it is concluded, you may want to write a summary.
I added a section on mobile development (the one that was in my sandbox with some edits), but put it in the "Create" section rather than "Localize." To me, these are development issues that can be more easily dealt with upfront rather than as a localization, which is why I put it in Create.
I'm not sure how this info fits into the section currently in "Localize." They could be merged, I suppose. I'll leave that up to you.
One thing, for what it's worth, is that many may find the terminology "third world" to be derogatory. "Developing world" or "developing countries" is preferred.
I also added a short intro to the Create section of the handbook. The other sections seemed to have it, but it was missing from this one. It was also a good place to make the point that everything on the Internet is not automatically "sharable" as many educators assume.
Hope this is useful.

Thank you for adding those sections. I was aware that some find the term "third world" derogatory. I'm actually surprised you at myself for using it, because I tend to use "developing nations" in speech. By all means, if you find any other references to "third world" change it to something more appropriate.

Seth,
I've added in a couple user stories and also got the word out to a bunch of others who I know use OER. hopefully, you'll see more stories being added soon.
I want to edit the mobile section a little more but will post early next week.

Very good point about not wanting this to seem like a "web quest." And I'm glad you're going to distribute this in print as well. Thanks for the feedback on the user stories. I'll revise and write some more and you can take another look.
Ok, I've worked more on these. Take a look at "Interactive Ebooks to Identify Cause and Effect" and the revision of "Animal Alphabet Remixes". If they look ok, I'll add them in. I will also send messages to some friends of mine who should be able to add some more stories.
