For info. While not specifically an OOo project, (Most of the partners are new to OOo) a preparatory meeting was held for a Comenius project involving myself, Manfred Reiter and delegates from Romania, Portugal and the UK. Its early days yet but there is also a proposal for a Minerva project (which is potentially more money) and these both have potential to create curriculum resources in a number of languages helpful to OpenOffice.org. Details are yet to be finalised especially for Minerva but there are also partners in Turkey.
