What you are doing sounds really great. Anything in this respect is a
worthwhile thing to do. I'd love to get involved and contribute what I
can to your project.
Thing that bothers me, though, is that I don't know how much actual
contacts you'll make via bitnet. Fidonet has the potential of getting
more real results, I would think, because many more people have access to
it, which is not the case with bitnet. Are you familiar with something
called k12, which is, if memory serves me correctly, a subset of fidonet
which serves as a net for school students. I heard reference to it
several months ago in a message which was about an educator doing a
program on PBS about school students and their use of the computer as a
communication tool. You might want to do some investigation to see if you
can find out how to access k12 via your BBS.
