Rationale: There should be a single education project for OpenOffice.org. This can be done by moving the existing project that is within the marketing project to standalone on its own. The aims of such a project would be: To support educational pedagogy by using the community as a learning resource. To provide materials to support learning that are in open data formats compatible with OpenOffice.org. To enable students to learn how to participate and support the development of OpenOffice.org To foster good relations between the OpenOffice.org community and other projects of educational interest around the world To increase the take up of OpenOffice.org in education and training environments. If those with a current interest in education think its beneficial this single project should be created as either an incubator or accepted project. I would say there is a reasonable case for an accepted project given that the project has been going for a while and provided a committed Lead and Co-lead can be recruited.
