SEUL/Edu is not the only list where discussions were made on the topic of
SchoolForge. Probably, all SchF parties could recall their pet discussions
and their outcomes and contribute.

First of all, posting guideline should mention a www-location where
FAQ is located. Some topics are religious:

Linux vs. Windows
Debian vs. RedHat vs. SuSe ...
Perl vs. Python vs. Java ...
GUI vs. CLUI
...

We all know them: they spark from time to time in one place
or another...

Still, people need information to make decisions.



Sincerely yours, Roman Suzi
