Global Chemweb?

I'd be nice to include chemical education as well, in order to
gain a larger audience.  Some aspects of the technology we're
discussing (eg lecture presentation,
on-line tutorials, lecture-note archiving, standards for chemical
structures and spectra), would be common to the teaching of a number of 
other science (and medical) subjects, so by including this we'd be 
breaking new ground and doing the whole academic community a service.
We might want to contact CTICC (Computers in teaching initiative centre
for Chemistry) at Liverpool, and their equivalents in  say, Physics, &
Medicine to see if they're interested.  Maybe the CTI could orgainise
a web conference, and we produce a Chemistry parallel symposium?
