School Computer Project

From LlamaWiki

Please note that this isn't currently being programmed. If you'd like to try this, however, go right ahead. Just remember - this is an operating system, which is a very large undertaking.

Most school computers are either extremely outdated or full of glitches. The School Computer Project is a proposal for a free operating system tailored specifically for schools.

Ideas

• Administration
• Monitoring of student activity
• Whitelist of websites that can be visited
• Education-based programs
• Word processor
• Internal email (with external for school staff)
• Easy updating (big schools have hundreds if not thousands of computers)
• Secure
• Pluggable

Education-based programs

• Classes like math and English would be completely digitized, so students would be able to do work at any time in the day.
