Hi Stuart,

I had a discussion with the person in charge of putting together the course 
request form for fsu and it looks like the scripts that you have written 
will work without any additional form. Basically, the intend is that 
regardless of which system an instructor chooses to use, he/she login to a 
common web site. Currently, the system automatically checks the user and 
then list the course(s)/sections the person is teaching. So all the front 
end work has already been done.

So question: What is the schedule making the scripts available? I plan to 
start testing it over the summer.

Thanks,
-hk
