Voting results: Not approved: 3 YES votes with a score of 11 (2 votes of 5, 1 vote of 1), 4 NO votes
This was a close vote. Many members were very enthusiastic about
this project. Others, while agreeing that a course like this would be
good for the language, were concerned about:
* Hosting: Previous grants designed to create a site have failed due
to a lack of support/hosting for the completed software/content;
Delaying this decision until the content is created could result in a
technically successful grant, but a product that is not deployable.
* Technology: One potential suggestion for the technology for the
interactive examples was offered, but are no details about how that
would work or impact hosting.
* Content Details: More specifics about the items in the 3 content
groups would be helpful.
If there are any community members who
would be willing to host a solution like the one proposed, please reach out to
Andrew or the committee (or the Board).
We accept proposals throughout the year; our next round of review will begin the first week of May. You can submit proposals now.
If you want to help with funding and increase our budget,

As always, thanks to our
donors, both large and small, who support this program to give back to the community.
