Dr Chen, Just in case you've not seen it, please take a look at the new W3C's Semantic Web Education & Outreach group. Chaired by Susie Stephens at Oracle, it has its kick off meeting next month. Maybe that's a good place to maximise the effect of efforts like yours? Today there are 9 organisations signed up as participants (including mine) so there's room for more! Phil.
