As I said it's still being developed but should be ready fairly soon and once it is i'll let you know. We are developing it so that it can be shared and we will also make documentation we create for tuxedu and for the schools project generally available for everyone to share - we are hoping it will be a straightforward way to get children and teachers involved with and confident about using open source and moving away from completely windows based systems.
