A suggestion for the ads free educator wiki pages.

I fully understand the logisitics of dealing with 1000 requests a week for new pages for ads free wikis.

Can wetpaint set up a SCHOOL registration program? It would be on the school administrators to send you documents asking for a school wiki to be set up.

you could then set up individual school wikis, giving the permission and admin control to the person who sets it up.

That way individual teachers would have to go THROUGH their school to set up wiki pages. It would lower the reqested wiki pages (and associated logistics) for wetpaint from thousands per week, to several hundred, and then it would taper off as schools were signed up.

By making it up to the school administrators/IT folks handle the paper work (a proof of location, school charter, etc...) it would make life much easier for wetpaint. Do you find this valuable?

This is not an unreasonable request. Maybe they could even go further and do it on a district level somehow. Animoto is going to be facing this same problem soon- and that scares me! Do you find this valuable?
