Hi all,

Been busy, busy with OpenICDL, not seeing any commits on ubuntu and kubuntu 
docs, what's up with that?

OpenICDL is an open source project that aims to develop and maintain a 
Free/Open Source version of the training materials used to ready students for 
the International Computer Driving License certification.

OpenICDL Courseware is aimed at new computer and linux users.
Version 1.0 is an official release approved by the ICDL Foundation for 
training students wishing to take ICDL certifications. Current courseware 
includes the following modules:
ICDL Module 1 - Concepts of Information Technology
ICDL Module 2 - Using a Computer and Managing Files with K Desktop Environment 
ICDL Module 3 - Word Processing using OpenOffice.org Writer
ICDL Module 4 - Spreadsheets using OpenOffice.org Calc
ICDL Module 6 - Presentations using OpenOffice.org Impress
ICDL Module 7 - Information and Communication using Mozilla 1.4 and Ximian 
Evolution 1.4

Module 5 - OpenOffice.org Database was not missed, it is in the development 
trunk.

Full source is available in Docbook XML. If you are interested in scratching 
an itch or just have fun developing courseware, stop by and introduce 
yourself. The project has only been live for one week, so there is scope for 
lots of ideas and millions of ways to participate with contributions.

One itch ppl here may be interested in scratching is the development of a 
module 2 aligned with Ubuntu and of course gnome :-) A Kubuntu version is 
brewing, I hope and I already have a contribution for Module 2 RedHat/Fedora.

Well the challenge is up.

Oh btw, translation of release 1.0 will be in Rosetta shortly, thanks to 
carlos and jordi. 

Argghh!!! I gotta get a life ....

Enjoy,

Oh and enrico will find some time to create a debian package and if all goes 
well we will get OpenICDL 1.0 into Debian.

Hey,

Are you kidding? I went nuts just the other day committing stuff,
The FAQ Guide is up for review as we speak :)

OpenICDL looks interesting, might check it out some time.
