Absolutely not : this is free software ( LGPL v3, like OpenOffice.org ) If you want some screenshots about features, you should have a look at the wiki. > I'd think those developing software for children would be especially aware of the need for parents and > educators to evaluate the interface early on. Exactly. OpenOffice.org is great (I'm Domain Developer for OpenOffice.org), but is must be generic, and not Education specialized, so we did something different, say complementary. To tell you more, we work with - the teachers, who explain what they want, and we try to associate, better "coordinate" the features with the exact needs in the programs. - students from engineers schools (like Epitech Paris, UTBM and Ecole Centrale Nantes, and some other): they contribute on the code side, as projects (learning in the same time OpenOffice.org source code) and we drive them - our children, to have a direct feedback ;) Our needs are to meet people from different countries, analyze their feedback, and their need to improve the software, discover other Educational Systems, and share. Last but nopt least, everything is coupled with dedicated tools, for collaborative work - http://campus-libre.educoo.org/index.php : sort of "Moodle" like (free) - http://educoo.edulibre.org/ (brand new), for mutualization work Of course, everything is based on sharing and free linceses use. |
