ScotEdupedia has arrived. It’s a wiki for Scottish Education. It looks really good, though at the moment I’ve got a problem with the way it’s set up - there’s not quick URLs (e.g. http://www.scotedupedia.co.uk/Maths  doesn’t take you to the entry on maths) which is a real issue for avid ‘pedia users.
