Re: Automatiing the generation and marking of assignments

Hi Robert.

Would it be sensible to see this as a Netbeans module from the word go,
and use you to host it?  Or should we get it underway locally and then
look at the options?  We have been nosing around the Netbeans site and
its not all that obvious as to how Netbeans projects get initiated.

Hi Richard this sounds great! I am not aware of anything like this at 
this time. Please let us know if there are anyways that we can help
you.

This may include: promoting the projects on NetBeans.org, writing an 
article, etc.
