I promise to help porting python to windows. The only price would be a 
free cross build environment license (aka send me a tarball once you are 
ready and I have time left).

The classroom bundle would mean a collected order: The teacher asks how 
many pupils do want a version for at home and buys that many copies at 
once (this only makes sense for physical CDs). Perhaps one version is 
free for the teacher/school. A lot of books are sold this way.

This was just a proposal for an added value if you plan to include more 
activities in the trial version.
