Seb, Since you seem to be the lead on this project and you are an Uni IT student, I think I will trust your judgement. I think we should also try to target MCAST and A-Level students at least by not excluding them. i.e. the disc should not be UoM specific (after all it would be good PR if foreign students use it too) and if we can squeeze in something like GnuPascal (does it still exist?) for A-Level students, we should go for it. Besides good text editors, putty, etc. are useful to all IT students.
