First, sorry about this late response. I've forgotten to put it in my
todo list :)
I think it's a great idea to create a Debian-edu project and I think we
(CRI) can cooperate in this way with everybody that can be interested in
such a thing.
IMHO, there are a few important points in such a project :
- light administration ==> we wan't to remove computing task to teachers
to let them do what they know : teaching ; so we have to explore
diskless solutions and other things like this
- education programs ==> packaging of free educationnal softwares (this
rejoins OFSET work)
- Internationalization of Debian ==> for the moment, I don't think it is
as ready for other countries than a Mandrake distribution for example
(package description is in english,...)
