I agree and would go farther: teaching and learning is what the
courses mailing list is designed specifically for, and we should use
that for teaching if at all possible.  It's also our most popular
list, so you reach a lot of people if you teach a course on LinuxChix.
 I would love to see CherryPy, Moodle, Drupal, Plone, RoR, what have
you courses with test platforms available to play with.
