Hard to tell how well it works in practice, but it's at least a start. I wish they'd so something in the hands on technical sector, the jobs we all have! For now I'm going to have to file it under projects I wish I had time to tackle. Posting it here in case anyone is in college or has a child in college, and because maybe it will spur someone to build something really interesting to serve the technical community.
