An Installation of the workstation with more questions about using
software could bee a way, but that is a way with many work for you-
This would be especially more "work" for unskilled teachers who are
meant to be able install the system out of the box :)
Personally, I also support the idea of diversity rather than an
one-app-per-task approach. On the other hand, I understand that too
much is rather confusing than helping. Here my suggestion would be to
re-arrange the kmenu accordingly. For now, many important applications
are hidden in a subtree "Debian".
I think, that to build an kmenue is an thing for the "country-groups"
How to use it ? It could be placed in an Installation-Menue, but that
makes the Installation longer.
I read many times about the Installation and this point is heavy.
It is placed in "skole-wanted-things" that everyone should be able to
Install the System.
It is very nice to do like this, but i think, that it could be buggy to
offer the people a System that is so easy to use.
Everyone who want´s to build a Education-Server must have the
basics.
In the german List some time ago, someone meant, that a wife, without
ever have worked with computers, must be able to Install the System -
it will be very nice - but not really wanted by me.The first step, to
get the user friendly with my Produkt, is the interactivity.
There are so many things, that workes "out of the box" and if we try to
do it with every Thing, we have a closed System ............
If to decide what applications are the most favoured ones -
popularity-contest could be an option. Maybe one has to replace its
mailing core with some http thing to send back feedbacks even without
working mailing system.
Just my 16 öre

The discussion is about loosing some Things, if we must loose it because
of the place on the Servers, it is ok, but if we loose it because of the
meaning of us, we cannot talk to everyone. There are different users and
if you ask two persons of the best programm for doing a job, you get two
different meanings..............
The other way, to make a special menue (kde or gnome) is the better way
in my eyes.
