<div>Sorry for the second email, but I wanted to send this via my calu<a></a><a></a> email (which has been on the fritz). That is an interesting idea. I have a few
<span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1282088566_0">crime mapping lessons</span> that I could re-work for open source. My student and I also took a set of basic lessons on watershed and converted them to MapWindow<a></a><a></a> and QGIS<a></a><a></a>. I am going
to ask the professor that we worked on those lessons for if we can share them.</div>

participants from each of the desktop GIS teams to edit it with their own <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1282088566_4">
screen captures</span> and specifics. This would be totally cool because then we'd have 3 to 5 lab manuals that teach the identical material - each one using different software. What do you (and others) think of this approach?<br>
+1<br>
<br>
... and we could follow the production guidelines that Cameron was outlining... I have an introductory GIS course for
<span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1282088566_5">natural resource conservation students</span> where I have a whole set of lab exercises I could pick and choose from, and I'm sure you and others do too. If others agree, maybe we can start a wiki page organizing
the kinds of exercises we each have to offer.<br>
<br>
Depending on if others think +1 too, is a goal to have a draft with at least some exercises completed by FOSS4G<a></a><a></a> doable? And would anyone be interested in becoming an editor? ( I'm possibly willing to do it as a co-editor but would want /need some
help...)<br>

P.S. By the way, congrats to Ned Horning in our group for his new book: "Remote Sensing for Ecology and Conservation", just published by Oxford (there is a paperback version too).
