Firefox and Open Office (if it will run).
Abiword & GnuCash if not.
Why are you talking about GnuCash?
Isn't that a cash book? How do you see having that on the platform as
being a benefit to our community users?
The primary purpose of this project is to give our local community
access to www.crra.org.nz
I received a great deal of positive feedback but also a growing number
of locals have commented that can't access it due to lack of a computer.
If I succeed in delivering that much, and it gets used, then the project
is a winner. Anything else is a bonus.
BONUS PRIZES
If I get the resources I am going to 100% promote the fact it's a linux
/gnu/oss platform with posters, free cds, booklets, etc.
(Chris if you're lurking, I'll be back to talk to you about that book of
yours.)
impressive progress. will come check it out, once running.
The idea is impressive. It's also nothing new. Rik has also worked on
this idea in a different form and it didn't come off yet.
It will be impressive if I make it come off, but I'm not there yet....
Please wish the project luck and if you have an inside word in council
then put in your positive vote.
Cheers Don
