Sounds good. Hopefully I'm now subscribed to the list.

Skolelinux have a long wishlist of packages missing from Debian. We
do not know if all of them are good, but they look interesting:
3D Planetarium, KMol, Planets, QuizComposer, autorun, baudline,
cinderella, dbdesigner, geonext, kalzium, kgraph, kldap,
klearnspelling, kmultiply, knorskverbs, kpercent, kvoctrain,
magicdev, postgresql-autodoc, sql-ledger, supermount, xplns, xyzet,
ymessenger, zul

We are working on a sysadm handbook, and courses for the teachers.

We are working on this as well.

We would like to improve in this area. :-)
BTW: Perhaps you would like to come to the next development meeting in
Skolelinux? It is not scheduled yet, but I expect one in the next
few months.
