It's funny that you mention that. I've been thinking lately that it would be a good idea to create packages containing educational (or other useful) books and other useful resources. They're are a significant number GFDLed or otherwise Free books as well as books beyond copyright (eg. Shakespeare's plays) that schools, universities and other users could benefit from having around. They could be stored somewhere such as /usr/share/books/ in various formats (HTML, PDF, txt... perhaps provide multiple in different packages). And beyond books: movie lectures, picture libraries, condensed Wikipedia... All available through apt. On a different note: I really disliked the Electricity and Magnetism textbook for my school, so I'm making a replacement. My physics teacher looked it over, but his area of expertise isn't E&M. Would anyone be willing to look it over? Sincerely, Christopher Olah -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
