If you wanted to announce/publicise a prototype tool for creating, editing and viewing report's on student's work, where would you go?

Have been laid up with a bad cold for the last few days - hence the lack of posts. But I have a little brain power returning.

In the backlog of emails I found this interesting question.

"If you wanted to announce/publicise a prototype tool for creating, editing and viewing report's on student's work, where would you go? What lists or websites would you approach? I'm asking on behalf of a friend who has developed the tool.

This is a web application written in java which will eventually be released under an open source licence. So the goal at the moment is just to find out if there really is a strong enough interest in it, or something like it, in the community of potential users."

I am not sure of the answer. Posting on Source Forge does not really reach the education community. Do we need a space of our own for developing communities around Open Source projects in education?

Any ideas would be very welcome.

Have a look at http://eduforge.org/ - an open source project site specifically for education related projects.
