Hello John, I teach physics and chemistry in Dunkirk (France), and keep using free software for education for many years. I am most intrested in your proposition of twinning. The headmaster of my school may willingly endorse such a project, provided it can lead to a cooperative work implying more than a few teachers locally. What would be the exact goal of this project, phrased in a few lines? Best regards, Georges.
