A random thought:
others have encouraged us to consider what GPL'd stuff is out there that could
provide good building blocks -- might there be some good stuff in the
Gutenberg collection that would provide the basis for a reader application?

I know, I know, Rob is going to say, "great, you're in charge of checking it
out!" I'll save him the bother; I'm in charge :-)

Does anyone know of or see through to a way of using a text story as the
basis of a learning application (presumably for the older ones)?

I think the idea of marking up an English dictionary file with reader levels
is a great idea. there must be public domain resource for this, what with all
the gov. grants for ESL and so on.
