If you're promoting a product, the least you can do is give the objective features of the product and provide some (again objective) reasons why someone should use that product. "Install it and see" is hardly a way to get people to use the OS.
I'd expect to see at least the following:
- Feature list
See are trying into this area. Support of Linux distro is one required in India. SchoolOS will be covered. automatically.
How? via Ubuntu updates? While using a LiveCD/DVD it may not be a concern, it definitely is for an installed base.
Which brings me to the other, critical issue: what is the commitment on the future of this OS? How large is the organisation behind it? Is there a defined road map?
Please don't view this as criticism or negativity, Narendra. In the real world, these are questions that anyone will ask before committing themselves to a relatively unknown product, and you must be prepared to answer them. Hell, these are the easy ones! Go to anyone with some experience in managing IT and see the sort of questions you face!
Raj, Point is not that I do not want to answer these queries but why everytime. Many of these things have been discussed long back when we announced it. Whenever I try to make any announcement , someone jump with the statement like "why schoolos" , I totally discard them.
Your team has done a great job. I would suggest you collate all the questions/answers that you have fielded and put them on the official website under appropriate headings. Then you can simply give an URL and don't have to repeatedly answer on different mailing lists.
