Hi Sebastian:

My first reaction to your idea is very similar to others on this list -
"fantastic!" congratulations!" "are you sure doing a new project from
scratch is the best idea?"

My second reaction is, Berkeley!! I've talked a little free/open source
there before, I love it. You are very near me (I'm in Santa Cruz) and I
had the instant desire to come up your way/invite you down and meet over
coffee/tea/hot-or-cold drinks. (Schedule realities aside ...) I have a
tiny bit of experience planning open source coursework and am really
interested in pushing the envelope here.

Without shame, I'm going to recommend the project I've worked on:

http://theopensourceway.org

Per se, it is a sub to Producing Open Source Software, but it's succinct
and useful outside of pure software thinking.
