[seul-edu] A new approach to the ISO evals

[Doug Loss <drloss@suscom.net>]

I've been taking a few weeks away from the day-to-day discussions on the 
seul-edu mailing list (for personal renewal reasons), but I'm back now. 
   I notice that we haven't really gotten any farther with our evals of 
educational software for the ISO project.  I've proposed a few methods 
of getting participation on this in the past, none with a noticeably 
great effect.  So I'm going to try yet another method.

Previously I've asked people to volunteer to evaluate applications in 
the various categories in the SEUL/edu Educational Applications Index 
<http://richtech.ca/seul/>.  That has met with only limited success. 
The new approach will be different.  I'm going to pick a handful of 
candidate apps and post them as a list here.  I'll ask _everyone_ on 
this list to look at them and do a Phase 1 eval of them 
<http://www.seul.org/edu/Phase1.html>.  Post your opinions here.  After 
a few days to a week, we should have a good idea of whether an app meets 
Phase 1 requirements.  We'll then toss out a few more apps for the next 
iteration of the process.  I'll post the initial list later today.
