    Excellent topic in my view -- perhaps we should start another list?
    I'm an educator and active in DU's MOO, though I haven't done much
    programming yet.  I'd like to use the technology to do a better job
    relating to my students and delivering content, and am perfectly happy
    to depend on others to create/maintain the basic service.  They deserve
    much recognition (and compensation) for their technical skills.  Perhaps
    this discussion fits better under computer supported cooperative work
    (CSCW), and I'd be happy to participate in such a list if anyone'd like
    to start one...
