Appeal to HN: Donate time and code for kids education, 'Tis the season

Happy Holidays All, I previously made a plea (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4534204) to HN hackers to help promote science education by porting the PhET sims, this is a renewal of that appeal. PhET is founded and chaired by Nobel prize winning physicist Carl Wieman. These are high quality research based sims, unfortunately they are coded as Java applets and flash, this makes their use somewhat limited on the modern web. I imagine there are hundreds of decent-to-great hackers on HN who should be able to at least code one of these Sims using HTML5 technology, hopefully I am not wrong:) Consider this a holiday gift to all the kids who will be drawn into science by these sims. Instead of a kickstarter for money, this is a kickstarter for your time and knowledge. If you are interested, please contact John.Blanco at colorado.edu, he's a dev on the project. Put as subject: Interested in donating coding time. So far here are some preliminary ports they've, this should give a hint of what they want, basically it should play nice with touch devices: http://bit.ly/RHHxrf http://bit.ly/ULa0J3 http://bit.ly/U1lFTd http://bit.ly/Tbulb1 http://bit.ly/VV1bM0 FULL Disclosure I am the founder/dev of APPYnotebook (www.appynotebook.com), an open source LMS with an emphasis on integrating these types of Apps/Sims directly into learning activities such as homework,labs and quizzes. I do plan on porting the HTML5 version of these sims into APPYnotebook, but all ports will retain the same open source license as PhET and free to use. An example of this type of integration would be to take this sim that is standalone http://bit.ly/RHHxrf, then integrate it into APPYnotebook to look like this: http://bit.ly/UUJXiX . The advantage being that a student could now save state of the sim, do a writeup related to it, capture the results directly for assignment submission or print to PDF.
