- School curricula on and using FS
Raj, I think there would be problem if you chose to adopt or recommend the *mode of educating* Free Software in Kerala. Nothing that I know here uses the opportunity to equip student community to get introduced to Free Software through its different Freedoms other than *Freedom Level 0*.
Without getting into the details of whether the Kerala experiment is a total, partial or not at all a success from a free software point of view, all I wanted was soft copies of existing work that can be used for schools, for teachers and for train the trainers programmes under an open licence. If there are lacunae in the courseware we're quite open to filling them. However, without those basic tools the whole discussion is meaningless for me, at least from the specific requirement with which I approached the list -- all it means is that we need a new team to develop everything from scratch. Something someone said at the recent FOSSCOMM meeting in Delhi led me to understand that all the course (at all 3 levels) was available for download under an open licence.
