We have sourceforge and Seul also, we don'nt need another one.  

Yes, if we get money we will give away for development following our
charter ( http://www.ofset.org/information/legal/charter.html ), this
is *the* objectif. We don't want to provide what sourceforge and
Seul/Edu is doing. We can eventually encourage to use Seul/Edu
facilities over Sourceforge ones.

Maybe Rob parent but Rob probably can provide a reliable one.

I can't provide data. Maybe there is place for such a project when we
get enought software.

One thing I'm working one actually is a DB card manager where card is
a LaTeX code. The card can be seek, viewed - and eventyualy cache in
bitmap - and then assembled to get a whole file composed of several card.

This can be used to classify to math exercice, math lesson, or
anything else. The key point is that the database card can be shared
and expanded by teacher.
