Well, thanks in any case! For the moment we decided to proceed with
the English version.

By the way, would it be a good idea to create a mailing list for
people who use (or intend to use) DrRacket in teaching, as separate
from an ordinary technical discussion? (I mean the main list.)

Here in Finland I know at least our team of three people who have
independently chosen (not knowing each other until quite recently)
DrRacket for teaching programming to (almost) complete beginners (not
CS-students), with encouraging results.

It would be nice to have a forum for sharing specific pedagogical tips
when using DrRacket, with people from all over the world.



Yours,

Antti Karttunen
