Re: [school-discuss] Open Content and open source for developping countries

[Paolo Pumilia <xpol@interfree.it>]

 .open content and open source could help developping countries to help them
 .create school content which could be easily printed on paper. and sent 
 .in the schools...
 .

Iti is something i was pondering too, lately. 
Open content could be useful also in the so-called rich countries, since 
purchasing handbooks is expensive. 

A pool of qualified authors could give rise to a sort of board of 
supervisors to produce and maintain an updated, printable manual of 
any matter. 
I would start by getting in touch with some people authoritative with 
respect to the most common matters relevant in schools. 
Maybe a publishing house could back the project (they would have the
right to sell the fine printed version of the manuals, with add ons)
