You need to make clear somewhere the copyleft nature of material on the site.

Agreed.

Aren't you being unduly down beat about DIY solutions?

I wasn't intending to - I was trying to reflect the tone of documents such as Kevin Taylor's Schools-HOWTO. Someone else can re-word it.

Do we consider RedHat, SuSE, Debian, etc., Linux Emporium(?) etc., to be suppliers and, at least in the 1st 3 cases, supporters of this approach?

I would guess it's up to the suppliers themselves which approaches ("specialisations", in the terminology used on the temporary site to avoid any connotations of the word "products") they want to be associated with.

Support details aught to include, at least, usenet, linuxdoc.org, distributors websites, LUGs, and the SuSE/OSiE list

My *personal* opinion on this is that the Knowledge Base should be the first line of support provided by OSIE. This would help to ensure that it does become a useful resource. The KB search results page could perhaps have links to other possible sources of support on it.

You will remember to change the title tags won't you? ;-)

They are changed to "OSIE" - it's just the way the website is currently hosted by UK2.net means that they never show up.

You can include St Ives on the list of schools - I'll do a write up when I have time; the address details and low res logo are on our contact page: http://www.st-ives.surrey.sch.uk/contact.htm - we are Linux (& Windows), DIY. EMail me for more details if needed.

Thanks - does anyone object if I add these details to the database? Michael
