I agree with Roger on this.  Since this is clearly useful info for
seul-edu it seems reasonable to store it here.  But mirroring it (or any
of the rest of our stuff, so long as it's clear from the context what
the meaning is) is a good idea.  Just as we should mirror your linuxedpp
page(s) when you get them running.

I'm not sure _all_ of that should be in the central repository.  I doubt
that my Alterra stuff really should be there at this point, as it's
clearly way on the back burner.  Bruno's XML stuff probably ought to be,
though.  I think the users ought to have a say on when their stuff is
ready for the big time, and that we ought to have guidelines to help
them make those decisions.  Wil, let's you and me try to figure out
those guidelines, OK?
