Hi OsamaK. I am writing to you regarding OKBot. Please forgive me if this is not the correct way to make a suggestion. I find very confusing the DecreasePositive and IncreaseNegative that the bot uses for the Alexa rank. I think people would expect a web going to the top with a green up sign, even if the actual number representing the rank is decreasing. Other than that I think the bot is a very useful tool. Hope you find useful my comments. Regards and thank you for your work,

New features for course pages
Several noticeable improvements to the EducationProgram extension (in addition to some small bug fixes) will go live on or around 2014-01-23:
Notifications
- All participants in a course (students, instructors, volunteers) will receive Notifications whenever their course talk page is edited. Thus, editors can use course talk pages to send messages they want the whole class to be aware of, and the class participants are likely to see them.
Special:Contributions student notice
- For users enrolled as students in courses that are active, a notice will appear at the top of Special:Contributions noting which course(s) they are enrolled in. This will make it easy for users who come across the work of student editors to find out that they are part of a course and identify other class participants.
Adding articles
- Course instructors and volunteers will be able to assign articles to student editors, instead of all articles needing to be added by the student editors themselves.
Adding students
- Instructors and volunteers will be able to add users as students in courses, instead of all student editors needing to enroll for themselves. This makes it easier to maintain complete lists of students, and also makes the extension more suitable for tracking participation in edit-a-thons, workshops and other collaborative projects beyond the Misplaced Pages Education Program.
If you have feedback about these new features, or other questions or ideas related to course pages, please let me know! --Sage Ross (WMF) (talk) 18:14, 22 January 2014 (UTC)
