I think you're right unfortunately. However I think this is something
that will grow. As a music educator I know all these students frustrated
with the lack of possibilities to test their arrangements on real
musicians, and students looking for alternative settings to play in.
There are a few major problems in this though: institutions usually have
a very set and conservative structure where most teachers know only a
few things - but very well. And - there is as you point to - no viable
easily accessible way to collabrate via the internet. There is something
for a live cd to set uo:-) A cd every student can bring home, plug in
their guitar and lay down the track fr Joe composers rough track.

Ah - what do I know. I would probably find time to participate myself.
Sounds mighty swell in my opinion!
