**Aren't you trying to duplicate work already done?**
No. Existing projects and work in the public domain (and available for CC-BY-SA) will be linked by Kangaroo Pie. In these cases, where quality work already exists, Kanagaroo Pie exists to organise and link this material using the Australian Curriculum content framework.

Technology
Kangaroo Pie will likely morph into a more dynamic content management system - but for now, content is king and a wiki is a quick, easy way to launch the project.
 * Why a wiki? Why not ?**

**Intellectual Property**

**Why CC-BY-SA?**
Several reasons : wikispaces itself use CC-BY-SA, but most importantly, teachers have to be able to //derive// works using material connected with, or linked to by Kangaroo Pie.

Won't commercial providers be able to appropriate this voluntary work?
No. While they may use and derive from it, CC-BY-SA requires any commercial users to attribute the creators of the work, and most importantly, to pass on the same terms in any derived work. That is - they would be making their derived works CC-BY-SA. CC-BY-SA is a viral copyleft idea, encouraging even commercial providers to open up their offerings. They may charge for the work, but their work can also be copied, derived, shared for free! Believe it or not, some publishers build businesses on this model.
