Edubuntu Launch Traget Market & the tuXlabs Cookbook

[Derek Murawsky]

Back in a course on IT we discussed possibilities for publishing
updated medical information for countries where there was no Internet
connectivity.  A great idea came up to use the local mail service, if
one exists.  "simply" develop the content on a website where it would
normally be available to those who have internet connectivity.  There
could then be a physical mailing list where snapshots could be sent
out on CDROM.  This could also be done on hardcover, but I believe CDs
would be cheaper.
anyway, just an idea.
