Jeff, stern taskmaster that he is, has asked me to write something for
Freshmeat (I'm working on it, Jeff!).  Between that, preparing for the
upcoming presentations at the Canadian Expos, and writing the weekly
education reports, I'm not going to be able to do this.  Would someone
please volunteer to do this?  Ben, how about you?  Or do you know
someone who would be interested in doing this?  It's clearly of use to
more than just SEUL/edu.
