I seem to have been working under a misconception. I thought that the manuals were mainly intended for teachers and local educators who might be trained to do some low-level support. The language should be comprehensible by younger children because the manual will be the teacher's main reference, and we can assume that the manual language will find its way into the teacher-speak. Docs are definitely necessary for educators, since they will not have time to "discover," and since they are responsible for getting the children going with XO. Don't you agree? _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
