We're always looking for ideas on how to improve things.

Thanks Greg for the information. I will keep the community posted on
future POSSEs.  I think the contents on foss2serve.org could be merged
with the contents on teachingopensource.org. I understand the servers
are in different places, ToS was moved from Seneca to Red Hat. And
foss2serve.org is  most likely in an institution (Steve Jacob's I think)
in the US .

Getting the contents in one place will ease out the process of searching
for information about the ToS community. The websites are both
mediawiki; merging them should be a breeze. Perhaps, there are
unresolvable issues to keep different instances. We will save ourselves
from much trouble in the future if it is done now.

I could get the participants to contribute to a Fedora package (i.e. develop one ground up or update an existing one). But I don't know what package would be a good choice.
