If you don't already know about it, take a look at Structio
<http://structio.sourceforge.net/>.  Vladimir Támara Patiño has done some nice
work (I think, although I'm not fluent in Spanish) that may be of some help to
you.  I think Vladimir is toward the GPL-only side of the software spectrum (as
some of you know, there was an amicable split between OFSET and SEUL/edu over the
issue of promoting non-GPL educational software for Linux).  His work is solid.
