I don't think these are dumb questions at all. I think the technical side
can be dealt with by others. One thing that's missing is reading material
for people to take away. There may not be enough time for this conference,
but I think we could use booki.cc & Lulu.com to produce some quality
material from our wiki.

I wonder whether IAEP participants can work together to migrate content from
the wiki for such a project.

Some topic areas could include:

 - integrating Sugar into the classroom
 - integrating Sugar into a standardised testing environment
 - where to get help as a teacher (e.g. how to sign up to IAEP!)
 - where to get content (Wikieducator, other open access content resources,
etc)
 - encouraging discovery

Just an idea,

Tim
