> Joe, it sounds like a cool idea. Feel free to be bold and work on it.

Definitely.  I think that at this point "coalition building" is
a reasonable objective.  We have tons of *ideas*, but
I think implementation is going to take somewhat broad-based
support.  I've been talking to the Teaching Open Source
folks (http://teachingopensource.org/index.php/Main_Page)
and they like the idea.

We're definitely still in "looking around" mode.  As I mentioned,
I'm at The Open University, UK, and I brought the idea up with
some of the maths people here.  But that was just yesterday
and now I'm waiting to hear back.  A more conventional college
that nevertheless likes experimental/innovative courses might
be a better bet.  (Ideas welcome.  CS or mathematics faculty
champions especially welcome :)

I anticipate a lot of large-scale issues around "Wiki versus Noosphere"
(Noosphere is PlanetMath's hand-rolled collaboration platform).  And
in the long-term, I wonder whether the PlanetMath/Noosphere project
can get folded into Wikimedia on an organizational level.  So... there
will be lots of things to talk about.
