Technical preparations for fall -- am I forgetting anything?

All,

I have to submit my technical needs for my fall class now (OK, it's already overdue a good bit). I figure, this is high stakes and I could use some feedback if you think there's anything else I should recommend.

Reminder, I am doing Alice and Excel.

So I need:
Windows
Office 2007
Alice 2.2

I have an in-dept moodle.
What else am I forgetting?

What's the equivalent to a Wiki on this site?

I wanted to set up a space regarding Assessment that we could all easily edit and contribute to... basically a Wiki. But I didn't see anything that appears to be Wiki-like.

I'm sure I must be missing something, since that's an obvious kind of collaborate space. There is a plain old "Page" which is fine, but I'm guessing that there is some content form that is obvious but I'm just not seeing.

Can anyone point me to the proper resource link/type?

Needed Lab Materials (or possibly homeworks or examples for class)

We're planning on dividing it down the middle, 50% programming, 50% non-programming (say, in terms of weight on the final exam). How about the others?

We had a CS10 team meeting on monday, and decided we'd only assign reading assignments that are free for students.  Thoughts?

Here are the slides from my CS10 presentation, in pdf and ppt form.

Here's the Google doc of our CS10 full course description, with LOTS of reading assignments listed (not yet filtered for free resources, see my other forum post for a discussion of that).
