Sebastian, SoaS'ers,

I am aware that here everyone-but-the-ones-that-build-it are talking
about SoaS. Personally, I am thankful for the work you do... I have
also been using SoaS recently as a "starting point" for a SoaS
matching OLPC builds and that was tremendously useful. Thanks!

I'd reword what I wrote earlier to say: there is a huge need for
something like SoaS that focusses mainly on being in the hands of
teachers (and may be useful for testers and developers like me). From
the outside, it seems there's nobody in better position to do it than
you.

cheers,
