thank you for your comments;

my intended aim is:
- writing a report on the activity to let other guys in the field know
what else is going on
- the report should be totally free of charge and web-available
- the report should be citable in other reports/papers or else
- receive comments from other educators using Python in classrooms, to
improve my future plans

i'll seriously consider sugarlabs choice, if you think i may collaborate;
