Help build a history of OCW

Steve Carson asks for help building a history of Open CourseWare. Fair enough, but it raises in me the question - is Open CourseWare a proper noun that refers only to MIT's project and the consortium that followed, or does it refer to the concept generally? I wonder, because I made open learning courseware available online well before MIT's 2000 start date, and I'm sure many other people did too. And in all fairness, I don't think people should get the idea that the concept of open courseware began with MIT, because that's simply not what happened. And so the 10-year anniversary should refer properly to MIT's OCW project, and not simply 'OCW'.
