We've been working hard on the fc-hackers list and we're pleased to announce
our new project!

*NotesHub* (http://noteshub.org/) is a place where students can share notes,
papers and other educational materials with each other. The content here is
100% free and 100% submitted by students. You can read more about the
project at the about page: http://noteshub.org/about/

We need your help! The best thing you can do is upload all your old notes
and papers!

The next best thing you can do it post about it on your Facebook page or on
Twitter! It's a great starting point for bringing up a discussion of Free
Culture on your campus. If you're on any other free culture mailing lists,
maybe you could forward this announcement to them, too! If you're super
cool, you can write about it for your college newspaper (just write the main
points of the article of yourself, then give it to the somebody on the
newspaper staff - they'll normally just run it without changing too much at
all - post back here if you have any results!)

This is just the first iteration, just so we had something to show at the
conference, but it opens a lot of room for discussion about features in
future. I'd like to see better organization and search (but we need more
content before we can work on that) and a way to take notes directly on the
site (EtherPad style) - or perhaps as a plugin for OpenOffice.

Hopefully there will be a session about NotesHub and other FC-Hackers
projects at the conf this weekend!

Thanks guys, see you this weekend!
