Dear Karl,

I have been thinking of the content side of free and open source for quite a 
while, and like you, have begun putting together a system and a site. The 
latter is only as far as a domain (schoolforge.net) which I chose on the idea 
that it was meant to enable a community of writers and teachers to work 
toghether. I have talked to some others about this and would gladly team up 
with you. Let me know your openness to collaboration.

Additionally, as editor of opensourceschools.org I am looking to do an 
article or two on this movement -- I'd like to uncover what is actually being 
done and what people see as the _need_.  So, I'd like to talk to you about 
this as well, if you're willing.
