    I was thinking of compiling something like a Klingon textbook over
the Summer (since I'll have nothing better to do).  I'm not sure about
infringement of copyrights or anything, but I plan to write it and use
it in my course without making money from it (but if I can work through
the messy copyright stuff and get permission from whomever, etc, I'd
like to publish it).  i've already got much of it planned out.  Since I
taught a Klingon language course this semester, I have a particularly
class-room perspective on the teaching of Klingon, and I plan to compile
the text so that it resembles any other college-level language text.
