I agree. But right now we are trying to get our first release out too. I
think the best thing to do is take a look at what we have after we both
get through the phases we are in now. In other words, I see this as
something we continue to work toward over the course of the next year.

That's great. If you write something and want a reader for comments
before it gets submitted please forward it on.

I'd definitely like to do the latter -- but also am under a deadline
right now, so would like to get version 1.0 of my course drafted. As
soon as we get to a point where I feel like we're ready to show the
group the content, I'll let you know and we can go from there.
