[iaoa-education] Education Committee paragraph for newsletter

[Maria Keet]

Hi Zena, Tood,

thanks. I've corrected a type, "Oxford comma", and one minor change. 
should we add the pubquiz?


In addition to development of the technical programme of ISAO 2016, the 
Education Committee has continued to develop their Wiki 
(http://iaoaedu.cs.uct.ac.za/) with information about courses around the 
world, books, and other resources including a growing list of terms with 
definitions (in different contexts). The committee’s mission statement 
*has* also been updated and can be found at 
http://www.iaoa.org/iaoaTC/TCeducation/TCeducation.php. Future plans for 
the committee include  creation of a textbook, the development of an 
ontology competition,**and*adding more information to the Wiki*. We 
would ask IAOA members to let us know if they will help with the 
addition of terms and definitions to the Wiki. If you would like to join 
the Committee, be added to their mailing list, or assist with the terms 
or their (possible) definitions, please contact Maria Keet 
(mkeet at cs.uct.ac.za <mailto:mkeet at cs.uct.ac.za>) or Zena Wood 
(Z.Wood at greenwich.ac.uk) <mailto:Z.Wood at greenwich.ac.uk%29>.

Regards,
Maria
