Given what mav said yesterday about different books using the same modules,
we could have several different OChem books (or courses? sequences?)
that reuse the same OChem (or maybe just Chem) modules in different orders.
You can present various options for a final linear order,
and of course anybody could create their own out of the existing modules,
perhaps using the previously presented options as a guide.
