Hi, I hope you don't mind me forwarding posts from the Edubuntu mailing list all the time! ;-D
Please note that Jerome Gotangco, who is working on the Edubuntu documentation, has included a brief description of Schooltool in the "Introduction/About" page of Edubuntu (The page that is shown when the user first opens Firefox). "SchoolTool SchoolTool provides a robust and reliable means of managing a school or classroom, saving time on routine tasks like managing classroom rosters, tracking student attendance, assessment and demographic information, helping teachers coordinate their schedules and reserve resources like projectors and computer labs. With SchoolTool, you can do more work with less time!

While it is true that Edubuntu is Ubuntu with some extra bells and whistles, Edubuntu has a different goal and thus have different documentation requirements. Few people are probably aware that I am the only guy doing it at the moment, and its quite overwhelming, given the short amount of time as well as the problems encountered early on. Not to mention the social issues involved with contributing to the Ubuntu Documentation Project's svn server, as well as the learning curve for DocBook. I've moved what is currently WIP (Work In Progress) in the wiki to allow the community to be involved in the writing. It's all located at: http://www.edubuntu.org/EdubuntuDocumentation At the moment, we have 3 documents: 1. About Edubuntu (done) 2. Edubuntu Release Notes (almost done with Ubuntu Release Notes and adapt it for Edubuntu, then add Edubuntu-specific issues) 3. Edubuntu Cookbook - this book aims to be a comprehensive manual for setting up and maintaining Edubuntu. It was adapted from the Tuxlabs cookbook and some of the text came from it. We're not going to discuss about licensing on these docs (especially the cookbook) right now, I'd rather have some input from the community first. Since there is a plan to have pressed CDs after release, we could probably still have time to include the cookbook into it. Once we have good docs in the wiki, we'll port them over to docbook so that we'll have a good document source that can be ported to different formats as needed (and put it under revision control as well). After all, this is our first release, I'm sure we'll improve over time =) Thanks again, Jerome Gotangco <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> GPG: 0xA97B69A0 -- edubuntu-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/edubuntu-devel -- :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::.
