The Guardian article isn't the only recent newspaper
article that has mentioned Boxmind. In the Financial Times
on 4th November there was an article by Niall Ferguson
professor of political and financial history at the
University of Oxford about the universities and online
education. In it he wrote:
"This year I helped launch boxmind.com, a website designed
to sort and rate academic resources on the internet so
students and lecturers can easily find the tens of thousands
of valuable resources that are "out there", but buried."
The full text can be found by searching the FT's website.

A high proportion of the subject researchers listed at the
Boxmind site are from Oxford, but not all of them. The
members of the editorial board are all very eminent. The
only one not currently working in Oxford is Professor John
Kay who used to be the director of the business school
there.
