Dear John Weathersby,

This is David Bucknell, one of the Schoolforge organizers. I think your project
sounds just great and we'd like to contribute/help in any way we can. It might
be useful to send your letter to the schoolforge-core@schoolforge.net mailing
list (were you subscribed?), or the schoolforge-discuss@schoolforge.net mailing
list so we can find out how we might help you best. Of course, we would love to
have access to a study such as you plan, so we'll do what we can.

Please keep us informed of your ideas of how to go ahead.

Best wishes,

David Bucknell
for Schoolforge
