I just resumed work on Open Competencies, which allows anyone to openly create, share, and revise education standards.
Education standards are currently a cobbled-together set developed by independent bodies. We have Math and English standards from Common Core, Next Generation Science Standards developed by a different group, and so on. Open Competencies allows people to develop a set of standards that all have the same structure, which will be significantly beneficial when developing curriculum and other educational infrastructure. (This project is not a reaction to Common Core; the issue of inconsistent standards has been a longstanding problem in education.)
The project is live at http://opencompetencies.org http://opencompetencies.org, and the code lives on github at https://github.com/openlearningtools/opencompetencies https://github.com/openlearningtools/opencompetencies.
