[Markus Neteler]

Hi eduCom,

for those not following the main discuss list, here a relevant FWD.
I think that we (eduCom) should take care of this request.

Best,

This hasn't been discussed for a while, but if the Education
Committee wants to host the files on osgeo.org, that's no problem.
I'd suggest that the Edu. group start an educational library with
public domain downloads available and put yours in there.  We have a
similar library (under development) for promotional material and
presentations.  Having a branch of it for education would make a lot
of sense.

Anyone from the Web Committee, including myself, can help get the
files online for you when ready.

Tyler
