The best bet for relicensing is to contact the content author directly. James: It looks great to me so far - but I'm not the one who should be testing it. ;) Do you have a group of young testers in that age group going through the lessons as you write them? That was the best thing I did when I was writing a textbook on electrical engineering - have testers go through it live.

I want this to be suitable for 9-10 years old and up too. I've been knocking out a new chapter every few days. I'd appreciate your opinion on it. Thanks. James Simmons Mel,
