[p2pu-dev] [school-of-open] Forking and working on fossacademy.org

[Jane Park]

+Mick, who is working on building SOO courses from flossmanuals

Hey Satya,

Regarding redirecting domains -- Schoolofopen.org directs to the P2PU
landing page because it is a joint project by CC and P2PU. You probably
don't want fossacademy to redirect the same way. However, I could imagine
any courses you develop being linked to from both schoolofopen.org and
fossacademy - provided that they fit in both places (eg. go through the SOO
community review, adheres to SOO guidelines
http://pad.p2pu.org/p/school-of-open-guidelines, etc.).

Hope this with Dirk's response helps!

Cheers,
Jane
