Count me in on this: it's something I have wanted to do for some time
now but have not had time to think through properly. It would I think be
really good for my students as well as for my colleagues (I teach adults
in Italy) and my wife (who teaches primary) has been virtually begging
me to do it for over a year: ICT is a mandatory subject at all levels of
school in Italy from 6 years upwards but the teachers have no training
whatsoever, and so are foirced to muddle on with pirate copies of
whatever is already on the hard disks ofthe PCs in their classrooms. So
a standard CD which gets them off to a proper start, and from which they
can re-install the sw when it gets messed around by less knowledgeable
collagues, would be a very valuable promotional tool indeed.......
The CD should of course be able to be available in local languages, but
since the sw already is, that shouldn't be a major hurdle.
If a workgroup gets going on this, I'd like to be in on it.
