Having talked with hundreds of teachers at our Open Source Labs for
the cue.org and necc shows, I *think* there is a huge group of
teachers who are interested in FLOSS programs who will absolutely not
be ready for, or want to be on, a list like this.

And I think it is worth recognizing, that for FLOSS programs to gain
some footing, there needs to be an easy entry point for them.

Anyway, the list is up and we'll see what happens.
