Here's an article that goes into ocw in more depth:

OCW is kinda vaporware right now, but it looks like sept 2002 is the
launch for the pilot courses (20) plus 80 others under development.

They announced this a long time ago but I've checked their website over
and over the past year and a half and they keep saying "check back
later". Now it looks like they are saying Sept. 2002 for launch of the
20 pilot projects...

Not that I don't think it's cool... just that it's been vaporware for so
long I'll believe it when i see it.
