Very cool. I'm always happy to hear about someone sticking it to the publishers!
Most of the items I saw on the site seemed like fun activities you could go through in a day or two in class. I wonder if there is a market for curricula --- longer plans for teaching a whole grade level for example.
A lot of teachers tend to "follow the book" for the general organization and progression of the topics, and since books generally suck, students end up being led through a bad sequence of topics.
Education should be more like choose-your-own-adventure books and less like linear text...
