[OSGeo-Edu] Grass book entry

[Venkatesh Raghavan]

Hi,

I haven't had the time to put the
resources that we can make available
in the http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php/Educational_Content_Inventory.

Will do so in a few days time.

About Moodle, I am interested in getting
appropriate privelages to put our contents
and creating new courses. Maybe some others
in the Edu committee are also interested
in using http://test.osgeo.net/moodle/login/index.php

Regards

Venka
