I think that we need as many members punting open access as we can get. So yes, I'd love to work together. At present I don't know many elearning folk at Stellenbosch, but am very keen to make connections. Will chat to Tessa (my colleague) about the possibility of popping in.

Glad to hear that you are choosing to launch your IR (SUNScholar) during Open Access week. I'm going to be flying down to your part of the world and chatting to the folk at UCT and UWC next week. Hope co-ordinate our open access efforts. Are you on Twitter, because it seems as if many folk are connecting there too. I'm http://twitter.com/weblearning
