The community’s “strength in diversity” was evident throughout the discussion diversity in terms of the members, their perspectives, interests, activities, offerings and contributions. The dynamic list of questions is a reasonable reflection of the research needs of the OER movement, and they were raised by people with a need for answers, or a desire to solve these issues. Rather than a final product, the agenda may therefore be defined as an ongoing process of communication and networking, to facilitate self-organizing, community-guided research and action, drawing on collective knowledge, guided by collective wisdom, and powered by the energy and enthusiasm in the community
