Colleagues,

The Adult Literacy Education Wiki, created in November of 2004, now  
has over 1200 web pages, and nearly 1200 registered users. You'll find  
it at:

http://wiki.literacytent.org

It's a free, web-based information resource by and for the adult  
literacy education community in North America. Practitioners like you  
help to make it useful, engaging and up-to-date. The ALE Wiki is an  
entirely volunteer effort. Some of the topic areas are very well  
developed and updated regularly; others need someone to mind and  
improve them.
I would like to encourage you to use the ALE Wiki, to add to and  
improve it, and perhaps to be a topic leader.

For a list of available topics to lead, go to
http://wiki.literacytent.org/index.php/Topic_Leaders .

To find out more about what is involved in being a topic leader, look at

and then email me at djrosen at theworld.com to let me know of your  
interest.
