Thanks Lev for offering to provide the infrastructure for a searchable
worksheet/activity/ project bank.
Of course, we still have to find someone who will be able/willing to handle
the everyday work of operating this bank, but having the infrastructure is
halfway there.
I am finding it difficult enough handling all of the present ETNI stuff, so
if there is someone out there who wants to volunteer to try and run this
worksheet/activity/ project bank, let us know. If we don't get any
volunteers, I will try to give it a go.

I can provide the framework (infrastructure) for a searchable
worksheet / activity / project bank - a site that will have a list of textbooks sorted by elementary/JH/HS, each book divided into chapters (+ a section for additional materials that are not chapter-specific), with all the materials listed and easy to find. The site will be password-protected so as to restrict access - teachers will be able to browse it while pupils won't.
Submission will be simplified - just click "Browse" => find the worksheet on your machine that you want to upload => click "Submit." Add comments like book title and chapter number, probably page number if this is important.
The worksheets will be laid out in two formats - .pdf and .doc (editable) - so that those who want to change smth will be able to edit them, while those who just want to download and print "as is" will have a "locked" copy.
The site will be hosted on my server and backed up once every 24 hours. No forced advertizing of any sort. A link at the ETNI site will lead to the collection of worksheets.
Questions:
1. Is this acceptable for the community - or does it have to physically be hosted at the same server?
2. In case the answer to #1 is affirmative: I will hardly be able to handle the everyday work (sorting things out, proofreading, pdf conversion etc), so this project will require a moderator with admin access privileges. I will provide all the necessary instruction and training.
Any takers?
David?
