Hi Phillip,
Wow -- the Mozilla "Jetpack for Learning Design Challenge" is an amazing
project.
Thanks for thinking about our community and posting the announcement on our
list. Let's hope that we have a few innovative WE hackers that will
contribute to this exciting future.
Keep us posted -- we're keen to help our friends over @ Mozilla :-)
Cheers
Wayne

> Announcement:
> Help turn the open Web into a rich learning environment and explore
> new possibilities for using Firefox add-ons to support learning
> online, as part of the the Jetpack for Learning Design Challenge
> sponsored by the Mozilla Foundation with support from the MacArthur
> Foundation. Designers, educators and software developers who want to
> turn their innovative ideas into working prototypes will learn to use
> the new Jetpack technology from Mozilla Labs to create Firefox add-ons
> to support learning on the open Web, using standard web technologies
> like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. The creators of the most promising
> add-ons will be invited to an intensive three-day Jetpack for Learning
> Design Camp (to be held in conjunction with SXSW Interactive in March
> 2010), where they'll further refine their work and the best add-ons
> will be publicly recognized. For more information see
