We are hosting an experimental wiki-like solution for primary and  
secondary school teachers for finding, authoring and sharing OERs. The  
are close to 20 000 educators from 65 countries working in 48  
languages (the UI is available in 14 languages). The site is here:

http://lemill.net/

In LeMill teachers can create:

I Content
(1) educational web pages with embedded media,
(2) exercise with
	a) multiple choice questions,
	b) fill-in-the-blanks exercise,
	c) open-ended questions or upload questions from Hot Potatoes,
(3) Lesson plans
(4) Media pieces (upload images and sound clips)
(5) Reference (links to external websites

II Methods
- Descriptions of teaching and learning methods (from brainstorming to  
seminar)

III Tools
- Descriptions of teaching and learning tools (from post-it notes to  
mindmap software)

Despite of the relatively large number of users and OERs only the  
Georgian and the Estonian communities are truly active and lively. The  
tag cloud of languages spoken by the community members is interesting:

We also have some hypothesis why the Georgians and Estonians are so  
active.

It would be great to have more Sugar-related content on LeMill.

Best regards,
