Hi Derrell,

I'm putting the course material together between now and January, and 
would love to see what you have in mind for the qooxdoo FSM and 
application framework.

I think that the students are going to have varied developer backgrounds 
(although they'll at least have the core computer science courses), and 
it sounds like what you have in mind could really help to clarify 
design, and give them a context to work within and learn from. Between 
January and about mid-February, I want to focus part of the class on 
samba4/qooxdoo/ejs concepts so that students aren't lost once they start 
working on their projects.

As far as obsoleting my work, it seems I've already done that. I can't 
seem to find the code! I guess there's something to be said for code 
repositories. :)

Regardless of that though, I'm going to start to put it back together, 
if for no other reason than to raise my comfort level with the platform 
and look for stumbling blocks that the students might run into. I'll be 
sure to post a patch to the list for reference once I get things 
together this time. :)

Thanks,
Brad
