Hi, floss in education ftw :)
What you describe sounds like flossmanuals, thanks to Alexandre I know now this resource exists: http://en.flossmanuals.net/ Some of it already translated to Spanish and you can indeed help out with the translation this could be very nice course material: http://translate.flossmanuals.net/DigitalFoundations_es/ And uhm if they are design students contributing, wouldn’t it make sense for them to design? http://www.gnu.org/graphics/package-logos.html lists a whole list of packages that need logos examining the existing ones is an interesting exercise in visual anthropology its own right :) Actually I said at LGM that I would like to help make a platform for developers to meet designers but you know how that goes—time etc. :) But if anyone has good links to sites or forums where people request design assistance? I remember I’ve seen something like this on the site of a French linux group good luck with your preparations!
