Colleagues,

The Adult Literacy Education Wiki (now with over 750 pages and nearly
700 registered users) is becoming a very useful resource for teachers
and other practitioners in adult literacy education.  It includes 30
topics linking research, professional wisdom, and practice.  It offers
easy-to-read archived discussions that were held on this and other
discussion lists, links to research and other resources, questions (and
sometimes answers) from teachers and other practitioners and
researchers, a comprehensive adult literacy glossary, and more.  It's
free, and it's designed for you.  Best of all, it's not only a set of
informative web pages.  It's a community of practice.  You -- and your
colleagues -- can easily add to and improve it. It's a wiki!

To check out the ALE wiki, go to:

http://wiki.literacytent.org/index.php/Main_Page

You will see that some ALE topics need to be nurtured, and to grow.  
They need a Topic Leader.  Perhaps you would be the right person to be a
Topic Leader. To see a list of topics and leaders, go to

http://wiki.literacytent.org/index.php/Topic_Leaders

If you are interested in being a (volunteer) Topic Leader for an
existing topic, or if you would like to help develop a new topic, e-
mail me and tell me about yourself and your interest.
