Thanks for your suggestion, Dave. 

The 4th Grade Math project is moving a little slowly at times, but we 
continue to make progress. 

Moodle is new to me so I'll probably need a little time to adjust to the 
system before I suggest the group move there.  I did CC the list in case 
anyone on the team has an opinion they'd like to share. 

 From my point of view, there are two factors at work here. 

First is we're working closely with many first time Open source 
developers and I feel it's important for them to get comfortable with 
IRC, Mailing lists and traditional Open Source Development connection 
points. 

Second, we are beginning a push to bring educators into our mix and it's 
important that they feel as comfortable as possible with the process. 

So if you'll allow me to contact you with questions as we figure things 
out, I'd appreciate any expertise you can lend.
