Hey all,

I am writing this just before bed, so I will not have a chance to
respond for about 10 hours. First, I just wanted to say what a great
doc this is already. Kudos to all for some great work. But in order to
make it just that little bit better, I think a few bits need to move
around.

1) The Edubuntu Difference
This is probably the piece I am currently most happy with it. It is
punchy and talks about value. However, it is a bit too long, at 9
sections. I also want to add a section about licensing. I will be
looking at what to merge tomorrow night, PDT (UTC-7), but welcome any
suggestions via this email or IRC (Burgundavia or Burgwork)

2) "The Tools"
-This section needs to be renamed. I think the best thing might be to
break out the tools and educational apps into a number of different
sections. Either that or merge them into one big section with multi
subsections. Remember that yelp is not the main place people are going
to be reading this.

Also, the lists are nice but need to go. I would suggest we go to
single paragraph for each section (not each app).

3) Descriptions in the educational section. Need to be more punchy.
They should also be ordered by what they do, not what they are called.
People don't care that it is kalled Kstars. They care that they are
getting a plantarium.

As an aside, we need to note what is missing from the amd64 default
install (kstars and tuxmath, afaik).

There are probably other minor things, but those a big ones that
change the structure of the doc.

As always, this is a discussion, so don't take my word as anything
other than hot air :)

Cheers,

Corey
