Hello all,

Well, I was originally thinking of contributing to the review of the educational applications listed for inclusion in openSUSE since that is the distro I will be testing them on... However, your point about helping inform the developers and users on other platforms is well taken and I the the reviews I and others write should have the broadest impact possible. I hope you will use list asked for input on to update the template Rajko mentioned: (http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Software_Overview) since it has some very good descriptor/prompts for reviewers. Then we can link it to the page you created for housing the actual reviews: http://en.opensuse.org/Reviews.

Great! - let me know if I can help.
Ok Here are my suggestions for the template. I will be happy to help & go into more detail if needed on this thread (and will help definately operationally define them further on the wiki).
=Name of the program =
1. Overview
1.1 History (if useful)
2. Reviewer type (parent, student, teacher, etc) (link to reviewer bio?)
3. Features
3.1 Application area
3.2 Standards supported
3.3 Target population
3.4 Pre-requisite skills
3.5 Assessment functions (if useful)
3.6 Accessibility & Usability
4. Alternative applications and forks
5. Development
6. Security remarks
7. References/ Notes
8. External links
9. See also
At some point, I think it would be good to include a way to categorize based on learning theory approach (constructivist, behaviorist, etc.) but that will have to wait.
Cheers,
Sarah
