I >can arrange the archive to be put in the UU ftp archive. It was my intention to do that. It's very, very difficult to sit down in front of a blank sheet of paper and write courseware from scratch.

There's a system called OLC which is used at MIT to process consultant transactions on their online help system. It might be possible to scale it up to handle transactions across the Internet and to have a central clearinghouse which automatically routes questions to consultants.
