Peter Harrison, Vice President of the New Zealand Open Source Society commends the release.


The Internet provides humanity with a unequalled opportunity to leverage our communication technology to educate people across the globe. Through collaborative technologies such as Wiki people can work together to create rich common resources that are open to all. By enabling users to export their content from Word into MediaWiki Microsoft are encouraging the availability of a far wider range of educational resources online.
