update please

Good point, Nige.  Let's not do the "talk big and go do nothing" thing with 
this project.

As I remember:
- A CVS repository (and website?) on a Sequoia box was to be set up.  Any 
progress there?
- Someone was to come up with some kind of requirements or specification 
document so individuals could follow something together.  Is this in 
progress?  Was it you, Hans?  If you are too busy, speak up and let someone 
else step forward.
- There were several offers of actual work (even if some wanted to do it in 
Java).  Is someone coordinating this?  Perhaps the CVS master should 
coordinate so repository access can be controlled properly.

As a side note, I have been making some progress laying some ground work for 
some school administration software.  I did not present on this last meeting 
because I think, for now, the test software is more important.  Suffice it to 
say that there is a school adminitration package out there in open source 
that looks good.  It was written by a team in Brazil and so is all in 
portugese still.  Since I know portugese, I am helping evaluate it as a base 
to do an open source school administration package.

But don't let that distract from the test software.  That is the key to some 
grand plans and good work that can be done for schools all over this planet!
