I just came across the openSUSE educational effort, <URL:http://en.opensuse.org/Edu-CD>, and decided to have a look at their packages to see if there were something to include in Debian Edu. A quick glance told me that they at least include koha and moodle on their server 'channel', and on the user side I found an application called geonext, <URL:http://geonext.uni-bayreuth.de/>. It is a java application. Perhaps something to get into Debian?
While searching for geonext, I discovered that the norwegian center for mathematics, <URL:http://www.matematikksenteret.no/>, is promoting geonext as a good tool to teach mathenatics. They are also promoting geogebra, <URL:http://www.geogebra.org/cms/>, which is another java application. Perhaps also something to get into Debian? Both the Java applications are GPL. :) But it occured to me, perhaps someone in the Norwegian branch of the project should contact the norwegian center for mathematics and try to get them to evaluate the programs included in release 3.0r0 of Debian Edu? It would be interesting to know what they thought of our set of applications. :) Just spreading the idea, in case someone have time to look into this.
