Other coding challenge:

Export a revolution skull in in xul specification:
"The XML User Interface Language (XUL) is a markup language for  
creating rich dynamic user interfaces. It is a part of the Mozilla  
browser and related applications and is available as part of Gecko.  
It is designed to be portable and is available on all versions of  
Windows, Macintosh as well as Linux and other Unix flavours. With XUL  
and other Gecko components, you can create sophisticated applications  
without special tools.
What has been defined inside a runrev stack could be automatically  
transformed into web-content.

www.xulplanet.com/references/elemref/quickref.html>

Alternatively, use the xul definition to define an interface.  
Different xul objects for different types of content (quizz, time- 
line, hierarchical tree)... the teacher calls for the xul, enter a  
few parameters (number of field boxes, horizontal vs vertical  
organization, etc)... and the presentation got filled.

So many things that can *very easily* be done with revolution....
