Thanks for not complaining "this was why I was hesitant in making things
people were doing 'official supported projects'".

You seemed to think it was a really good idea, so I thought you might have
something more specific in mind than "yeah, I agree, some proper
educational, *teaching* material would be cool".

Would this definition of an official project seem OK?

"This is something so cool, it really wants finishing! Could someone
coordinate all the efforts of this project and keep LLG up to date on how
far you've got. Try to make everything you do available to the public so
that if you get tired of doing it, someone can pick up where you left off,
instead of starting all over from scratch. If you get tired of doing, spend
you last few hours of it making it accessible to whoever picks up the baton,
and tell LLG that you're not doing it for the anticipated future"
