Hello Aidan, Mike,

While I'm always up for helping any Free Software in
Education effort, I have to say that fitting a large project
like this into a short tim eperiod leaves no room for all
of the things that always fail to go the way you've
planned.

Better, perhaps, to plan the upgrade for Christmas or
a later holiday, and spend the intervening time getting ready
for it. I'll be happy to provide some help with said planning. :)

If Mike is happy with this, and others are interested, we
can meet up to discuss the requirements & thrash out
a plan, then set up a list on the LUG server to carry
out the preparations.
Regards,

  - Richard
