wow.

The tender would have to include sufficient funding to cover staff for  
development time and for website development and hosting.

Could the tender come from us as a whole group, perhaps with the  
INGOTs as one assessment focus?

I am certainly happy to join in as I already publish this sort of  
thing to www.thefreemac.com as my own effort.  If we can include  
sections on courseware, training materials, etc. I think that this is  
a real possibility.

I will just have to get the Head to confirm that I can join in in  
school time and get back but definitely interested.
