Reading assessment and papers wouldn't work, of course, except that students could submit their work in a drop box in a suitable file format (rtf). It was useful. Very useful. A calendar/plan book on their would be useful too. I keep a blog on my classroom site for communication with parents. That's a useful tool. </blockquote> Thank you! That is great information. <blockquote cite="mid40A36106.4010002@snet.net" type="cite">I would like to be useful to you, if I may, in this project. I am no developer (html is my only code, really) but I am a gimper/artist and can create images, etc. </blockquote> Yes, please! I fancy myself a pretty decent coder, but I am *most* certainly not good with graphics. Any help, in any capacity, is *greatly* appreciated. <blockquote cite="mid40A36106.4010002@snet.net" type="cite">I have quite a few images, splash screens, color themes, etc., up on KDElook.org (username: photodharma).I do all the graphics for my own site, of course, school-library.net, and have a site full of my own art, photodharma.com Also, I have quite a few writing activities and articles I use for reading assessments, etc., on my own classroom site (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://sterling.school-library.net">http://sterling.school-library.net</a>) that I have or will release under creative commons, so that you could use them.

Our schools need something like this, and I can see that K12LTSP is making some pretty decent headway. I LOVE the idea of open-source, you/me/anyone else can get involved and make things beter for everyone. Also, I have received several responses from others in the community that would love to use this, and at least one of those was a commercial vendor who subscribes to this list. I think a great next step would be to get a project on SourceForge, or via some project management on my website, or some other website. With the level of collaboration that will be required, I think it would be unfair to "hijack" this list. Any thoughts? </body> </html>
