two things first:
wouldn't it be better to have a series of application designs and 
specifications (read standards) that could be implemented in a variety 
of languages that could be implemented on a variety of software 
solutions.  For instance, while I might be more inclined to use a python 
or php implementation of a standard package, others might be inclined to 
use java, etc.  However, done correctly any implementation of the design 
should be able to use the same data.  just a thought.

We'll have to see if that makes the most sense, but we think that having less duplication is a good thing.

We'd be happy to host whatever you want in terms of SEUL/edu at the 
center for digital discourse and culture, but I think to some extent the 
maintenance should be distributed.
