How good is the support provided by the project ?
Can you elaborate a bit on what do you mean by support here? We don't have any "products", we work closely with the upstream (debian, gnome, kde ...) and we develop applications for local needs (text to speech, voice recognition, input methods ...).
I mean technical support as is provided by a company like Red Hat. A large section of the people in administration think that it is compulsory. They will not like to rely entirely on their in-house IT staff.
Usability studies suggest that sticking to lesser number of usability models is a bad idea.
So you are suggesting to change things randomly, just like that without consulting the people involved, or without giving any reason? There is lot of work done to build such a vast network. We want to know what is wrong with it, why such a change now...
The news report says nothing about the School-level project. There is scope for many more such projects...Where did anybody say anything about the school project going wrong ? Does the IT@school project have a set of resource persons to provide guidance to Governments? Red Hat has done its home work .... that is clear.
