Hi :)
It does sound like an excellent project.  The Alfresco website (an advanced 
CMS) or ODFAuthors might be the best places to keep the documents.  

Hopefully someone will be able to give you a login for one or each of those 
fairly soon but it takes us a while.  Then you will need to have some 
appropriate folders set-up and that takes us a bit of time too.  

It might be worth asking the Marketing List as there seems to be a couple of 
projects working on things like this for different areas of the globe.

Of course LibreOffice is very similar to OpenOffice so it might be even better 
if your courses pointed out that they were relevant to both Office Suites 
rather than only one.  Of course there are many features that LO has that OOo 
doesn't and there is a lot under-the-bonnet that has grown-up a lot but on the 
surface i think they are both very similar (errr, LO has nicer icon sets imo).  

Just my 2cents.  
Regards from
Tom :)

Hello all,

I'm a US Peace Corps Volunteer currently serving in the Philippines.
My wife (also a PCV) and I are developing a community-based computer
literacy course using the Commonwealth Computer Navigator's
Certificate [http://www.col.org/resources/crsMaterials/CCNC/Pages/default.aspx]
materials. These materials are based on OpenOffice 3.0 and are
intended for self-instruction as opposed to facilitated instruction,
which is what we will be doing. We want to modify, update, and expand
the materials to fit our program, and to benefit other trainers.

I'm writing the LO docs community to get general comments on teaching
methodology. So far we have a few skills-practice workflows that map
onto presentations; the presentations teach about a particular
feature, such as creating a Table of Contents, and then point the
participant to a particular skills-practice workflow, which takes them
through the steps to set headings and insert the TOC. Does that sound
like the best way to go?

Also, if LO already has these kinds of workflows made, please let us
know where to get them so we can draw from/contribute to them. We're
looking for a set of workflows that will allow us to cover all the
essential features of Writer in a logical progression.

And finally, do you all think the community needs facilitated-training
materials like this?

Daghang salamat (many thanks),

~Micah
