So, I just had a chat to Josh Hesketh (Infra core), who seems to think
that if some kind of open source code for checking against an English

like this for assignment submissions), then creating the Jenkins job
would be OK. The tricky part, of course, is creating and maintaining the
index to be searched against.

Food for thought :)
