Good to hear from you, Jeff. (Yes, that was many Linuxworlds ago, wasn't
it. :)

I suspect this is a chicken-and-egg thing: you don't want to work on
it until you've got somebody lined up to pay for deploying it, and they
don't want to commit to paying until you've got it ready.

How about just building it, and then going to people with a first draft
to say "here it is, can you distribute it for me?" I suspect Red Hat,
or IBM, might be happy to deploy some extra educational materials,
as long as they don't have to do it all themselves.
