Hi guys,

Great work on the update of the wiki! I've got some ideas concerning the 
education area. Why not make it a place where people can get education, 
can educate themselves and can educate others?

The first part could be a list of companies who provide Ubuntu/Linux 
training, or schools that organise these courses.
The second part could be an overview of places where you can find 
valuable information about Ubuntu, such as magazines, websites, free 
manuals, ... In short, means to educate yourself.
The third part, well, maybe it could be a summary of tools that can be 
used in education in general, such as iTalc, Edubuntu, ... and maybe not 
limit it to Ubuntu only, but include some general software that's handy 
for education. This way, we could be a valuable resource for people who 
want to use Ubuntu (or Linux in general) in education.

Just my 2 cents.

I would be willing to set this up or help setting this up, not that I've 
ever used a wiki....
