I guess this information is a useful one to give.

I had signed a community partner agreement with runrev about two  
months ago, with the view of helping things *LIKE THIS* to happen.

I tried. I asked what was possible or not with respect to stuff like  
this. I received no information. I was invited to share the  
information I had collected at BETT (British Education Trade Show,  
the biggest inthe UK). I did so. No interest was shown in the  
information or ideas I exposed. I was proposed to become a vendor,  
lobby a given school to persuade them to buy a few licenses and get  
my cut out of the deal.

I signaled I was not interested in this. I asked what else was  
possible. I didn't receive any clear answer. As it was too unclear to  
me what my role was supposed to be and what room for action I had in  
that role, I have come to choose to resign from it, a bit more than a  
week ago.

I am still keen on taking up a role with runrev which would allow me  
to do something positive for the education community but would  
refrain from doing so till things become clearer.

In particular, in my interactions with runrev it became clear to me  
that due to already great time pressure on staff, other priorities,  
or I don't know what, it wouldn't be possible to set up a structure  
where (1) things would be created and (2) things will be actively  
maintained.

A structure exists where things can be created and be actively  
maintained. This structure is called wikibooks.

Best,
Marielle
