hey maggie!
uni is going ok - super busy as usual. IT placement (ie. full-time work), thesis, 4th level subject, tutoring, recruitment…and those are the key “high priority” things!

wow, 13 days? well i guess as of now that makes it 10 days! (not scaring you :P) i’m sure you’ll be fine! you’ve got a great personality, always happy and helping others

oh, and if you’re teaching “big” kids, and there are assignments/collaboration work i do recommend you use a wiki (eg. pbwiki) you’ll be amazed at how great wikis are for collaboration

Hi Chris,
I should thank you instead My friends and I have used PBwiki for so many assignments I wouldn’t know what we would’ve done without it! PBwiki 2.0 is looking very good, can’t wait till it’s out of beta!

Hi aWi,
yup, assembla is definitely good! Trac/SVN is ‘just there’ and you can just as easily create a new space for new/different projects. Just be careful though, we’ve have had a few experiences where assembla’s SVN died the night of needing to submit the assignment, no fun at all…the adversary!!!

meh, not too much a fan of pbwiki, have always used Trac since its early days..

but woah, assembla is an awesomesite. Might use that instead of hosting the trac myself, takes a lot of the hassle out.

Peggy,

Thanks so much for listing us as one of the most useful sites for group work. We love how PBwiki has been able to help so many students (and it’s paid off for us as well–some of our customers report that they got started with PBwiki because their summer interns brought us in!).
