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.
There's an Italian version of TheOpenCD at <

page, there's also a French version available with a German version in
development.
