Re: [school-discuss] What kind of competitions can we have during Linux festival in school?

Here's an idea i've kept under-wraps with the intent of developing it as 
an opensource project someday. Unfortunately, no time yet.  The idea is to have a
"Linux Scavenger Hunt".  That's probably all i need to say, but, in case 
it's not obvious, basically make exploring linux a "game"  (scavenger hunt). Some 
ideas are....
1. "goto /usr/ local/test and compile such-and-such, run it, and note 
the output" (one clue in the scavenger hunt)
2. "what is the first word, second paragraph of such-and-such man page?" 
(another clue)
3. on and on ad infinitum....


If anyone would like to collaborate in developing a "Linux Scavenger 
Hunt" please contact me -- i've got several ideas, and would like to do this myself. 
Hope this gives you a useful idea,

Charles Cosse
