Hi Arup,
What a great and generous idea. I would love to come along and observe but maybe I can contribute too.
Whilst out of work I've made a small wheelbuilding database for casual/home use that I would like to make available for free.

I've checked the spoke length results against all the obvious ones and the answers are near identical. The difference with this one is that you can record stuff about each of your builds and you don't need an internet connection once you've downloaded it. I've got a few more features in the pipeline but I'd like to see how this is received first.
I can bring along my laptop to demo it and perhaps show you some ideas I have for the future. I also have a digital calliper I can bring if anybody wants to measure components.
Can I also shamelessly plug Roger Musson's site and excellent PDF book @£9.

I have absolutely no commercial ties with him but I found him personally very helpful and his book an absolute must read when you're new to this stuff.
Regards
Ian
