We are only temporally representatives“

5. 1. As an OER actor I would like to find other OER actors and connect with
them, so that I can cooperate in a coordinated way and share resources
and knowledge with them.
2. As a teacher or learner I would like to get qualified, complete and current
lists of existing OER offers, so that I can easily find open resources, which
fit to my current learning or teaching context.
3. As an OER policy maker I would like to get meaningful statistics and
oversights on the status of the OER movement in order to take and
defend decisions in favor of OER.
