Hi Minhaaj That's an excellent suggestion and "music to our ears" --
We've started with a humble, but ambitious project to develop study manuals for the Open ICDL which teach basic ICT skills using free software. This is called the Computer Navigator's Certificate. See for example: http://wikieducator.org/CCNC and also the promotional brochure: http://www.col.org/colweb/site/pid/4601 First drafts of the materials have been posted -- but we now need help in finalising the content. Progress has been slow -- but I'm confident that we will pick up momentum due to a number of recent developments. I appreciate that this is not training in Linux per se, but this is at least a start in helping users get started with open source software. Any help the local Linux user groups can provide in getting these materials completed is well received. Also we are looking for people to help us out with the development of Multimedia resources to support the teaching in the Computer Navigator's Certificate course materials. WE have posted bounties for this multimedia development -- so spread the word: http://wikieducator.org/WikiEducator:Bounties/CCNC_MM_Developers Cheers Wayne On Thu, 2008-06-05 at 18:52 -0700, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > I have been editing WE for some time and i have noted that there is no > significant step take in the domain of free open source education on > WE.
