Our group's subversion repository is here: 
http://svn.osgeo.org/osgeo/education/

A year ago or more, we at UMass put some of our material up there, under 
the Releases folder and UMass.

Would be great if others would do the same and if we had some good 
instructions available or linked from the educational material 
submission page [1].

Could you do this for us Alex?

Obviously, the idea would be that many of us who are willing to allow 
new derivatives to be made of our content, to put the material on SVN, 
and then link to it in the educational material search database. Some 
may recall we tried to do this using Docbook, but I think we should be 
willing to accept any document type (Latex, docbook, etc. I'm actually 
prefering open office writer because that is so easy for me to edit).

If we can get this system up and running then we probably should return 
to a discussion of whether we want to use a standard license to apply to 
this content. But let's see first if we can actually get a SVN system 
working that people start to use!

Thanks all!

Charlie
