May I politely ask that we try to coordinate, these kind of blog posts aimed at developers, I have 
already done a few (which are also published through planet.) and I do have a plan on how to get 
students involved.

If we blog towards students in competing angles, it might not have the effect we wished for. I 
welcome any initative (including this one), simply ask that we send the same signal.
