Answer 3

Nice one for the heads-up. I didn't know Mozilla and Google had those resources available. Mozilla's offering looks especially interesting. I haven't tried any of it, except a bit of the MIT OCW stuff, which was very good.

I'm still waiting to hear back on the Privacy Policy issue??

Answer 4
