• We were very pleased in working with them and they won their class award!
• Would partner with the class again if we can give them a development bit that is easily chunked off from the main repository.
• Patrick has talked in the past about having a regular student programmer. If students have expertise in PHP than it's a possibility, given our recent experience.
