[seul-edu] ISO evals

[Doug Loss <drloss@suscom.net>]

I'm back, folks.  I've been under the weather with the flu for the past 
week, but I think we're progressing nicely on the ISO project.  I've 
just added the results of David Bucknell's Intranet category evals to 
the list of apps that have passed Phase 1 and that have passed Phase 2. 
 I'd like to thank Darryl Palmer for his efforts in packaging the Phase 
2 apps.  We are much further along thanks to his work.

We need some more folks to do some Phase 1 evals, though.  There are a 
number of categories that no one has looked at yet.  These include 
Administrative, Courseware, Edugames, Geography, Graphics, Library, 
Multimedia, Other, Presentation, Programming, Quiz, Reading, Religious, 
Social Studies, Typing, and Utility.  Some of the apps in those 
categories have already passed Phase 1 or Phase 2 because they are also 
in other categories or in use in schools, but others need to be 
evaluated.  Also, the Language and Math categories were never finished, 
and some apps in Astronomy weren't evaluated because they are 
java-based.  Please take a look at any category you feen capable of 
evaluating and let us know what to include.  The evaluation procedures 
are at <http://www.seul.org/edu/iso.html>.

We especially need people to do Phase 2 evals.  Take a look at the apps 
on <http://www.seul.org/edu/Phase1.txt>; these have passed Phase 1 and 
now need to be installed and worked with for a bit to see if they meet 
Phase 2.  I really need people to pick these up and give them a test 
drive.  You don't have to do all of them; just install one or a few and 
try them out.  Let's keep moving ahead!

Darryl, I've removed kara from the Phase 2 list, but I seem to remember 
there were more apps to take off.  Could you remind me what they are?
