Hi,

We had our presentation and it went great. We were impressed to find
out that all the 13 student knew about Kate. Also, we were glad to see
that more then a half wanted to work on our project, but we had to
choose only 3 of them. We will write a blog post these days and let
you know more about them.

Our project is still focused on the XML plugin, but we are open to any
suggestions or ideas you might have. :)

The first step for the students is to get used with the code and the
API, so the first results will come up later.

Could you create a user to be used within this organization? e.g:
cdl-rosedu or something similar. This user could be used in the future
if CDL will continue to collaborate with Kate and also for our current
students to update their status on Kate's blog.

We will keep you up to date with our progress.

Thank you for your support,
Adrian and Diana
