These three last features (and some more) are already available using ControlAula, which is available in Debian, and I've been using in Extremadura schools for the last 6 years. Since the last year it works with thin clients too (I haven't tested it with diskless clients). http://www.itais.net/en/index.html > - More than 50 static adresses for workstations (why is there a limit) I don't see this limit.

We use some of them to do and update Debian mirrors in the night, so the package installation is done from the LAN, saving bandwith and doing it much faster. > - Digital signage app (info screen) that runs on the server. > - Wii whiteboard, or something similar. > > What is your wishlist, or vision? I would add, - some tools to make content creation and distribution easier for the teachers, even for those teachers that are not real content creators, but sometimes like to do a Powerpoint (TM) creation. Personally, I like the idea behind www.exelearning.org, but technically that application is not usable in Debian, as its sources are a total mess, and the application development has ended. Its interface is really easy to use, for teachers with few technical knowledge and for users who like to go a step forward to do good contents. Also, it exports to scorm, which allows it make contents that are easily integrated in other tools, like moodle. - Move more educative applications and tools to the browser: my impression in the last years is that we've worked hard to give a lot of educative application, with an excellent selection of them for more subjects, but teachers don't use them very much because they are not integrated, have different interfaces, some of them are not easy to use, and people trend to search in Google and prefer to use some web pages, as that interface is much more familiar to them.
