[WWdevel] Re: pretty awesome

[William H. W. <wh...@in...>]

Dear Sam,

The site you found in Korea is an offspring of Indiana.
It was initiated by a faculty member of our department
who is from Korea and has an ongoing, strong relationship
with SNU (Seoul National University).  He visits there
regularly.  He told them about WeBWorK about four years
ago and persuaded them to undertake a project to
develop a Korean localization.   They invested a lot
of time and money.  Their goal is to provide
WeBWorK service throughout South Korea.

The development team visited the U.S. in January of 2004.
I thought they met Mike and Arnie then.

Sincerely,

Bill Wheeler
