Good point, Simon. education@ sounds like a good choice, with the understanding that we mean education for the general population, not classes in type theory or category theory!
Is this a possibility? Anything else I can do to move this forward? On Mon, Oct 22, 2018 at 11:32 AM Simon Peyton Jones <simo...@microsoft.com> wrote: > Good idea. “k12” is rather USA specific.
