This sounds like an excellent idea. Assuming that there will be another 
Education mini-conf, perhaps some form of co-operation can take place? The 
Education mini-conf at LCA2007 was targeted more at educators than at 
students, but I feel that it is important for teachers and students to be in 
dialogue for an educational process to be successful.
