This loco could provide some back-up support for members who want to do this and/or create some guidelines for schools along the lines of website do's and don'ts (incorporating the criticisms made in this thread) in a simple and positive way plus suggestions of FOSS software schools could use and a plug for Ubuntu. Anyone interested? Sarah </BODY> </HTML>
