<div>I'm trying to reach Clark Evans, but I have not found his email address. If somebody in the list knows the email, I'd appreciate if you may let me know.</div></div></blockquote><div><br>I assume you are trying to reach him regarding your "teach packs" proposal.
<br><br>I don't know if Clark Evans will reply to you or not. I don't know if there is time or not to answer satisfactorily the questions that were raised. Assuming it is possible...<br><br>You may want to give some serious thoughts about trying to tie in your project with other projects already existing. There exists already some teaching material for Python; for example: the livewires package, or the How to think like a computer scientist e-book. Your proposal does not make any reference to any existing work in the Python community, if only to contrast the difference - if you did not intend to build on what already exists.
<br><br>A fair bit of discussion on edu-sig (the python related education special interest group mailing list) has been centered on making educational material available through the web. The idea of creating a tool to "compile" teaching package sounds very much like developing a "proprietary format" (I know, it is going to be open source, but it sounds very much like something that could not be adapted easily for other projects.)
<br><br> Rather than waiting for Clark Evans to contact you, you may want to post here your answers to the questions he raised.<br><br>Just a few thoughts...<br><br>André Roberge<br></div><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
