I'm going to contact them members of the kidsgames mailing list (their
topic should be clear from their name) and the leaders of at least all
SEUL-supported game projects and direct them toward you.  I think the most

voices and viewpoints as possible to participate.

We interpret our self-given mandate rather broadly :-).  GTC (Games Tool

I'm not sure of the answer, which is why I've CCed this to seul@seul.org. 
Roger or someone else from that mailing list (of SEUL sysarchs) will get
back to you with the information.  Roger, LGDC is getting very nice
services from SunSITE Denmark and doesn't need SEUL hosting.
