That is SOOO cool, Craig!

Have you played with the new ProjectWeb that Je77 is building?  It's 
built in to Comanche Swiki now.  Go to 
http://manatee.cc.gatech.edu:8080/refs/13 and click on the links at 
the bottom (or create a new page).  It's a Swiki where the pages are 
Squeak Projects.  It makes collaborative Active Essays really easy -- 
no turnins, versioning is supported, locking is supported, etc.
