Hi!!
I'm really happy to read such a mail. I think that such communication
between teachers and developers is definitely the way to go. If you are
interested on working with us, we should create some IRC meeting together
(if it's not possible to meet live) to think of some way we can do that.

For starters, even if the website has an amazing amount of information (I
mean it, there's stuff in catalan, awesome :)) I don't think there's much we
can do with that because data is not formatted in any semantic way but we
should try to get to that. A good start would be to make it possible to
integrate some information into kalzium, they already have wikipedia
information, why not information from "portal do professor"? To do so we
should make it possible to be able to structure the data a little and to
create some RPC interface I guess, do you think that would be possible?

I think it would be great if we could provide kalgebra modules and maybe
cantor sheets for mathematical and science information in general. I think
this would be far better than the current just-html approach. This would
bring up new needs in hosting applications but that's why we are here, isn't
it?

Well, looking forward to hearing from you. And remember that we're here for
good :D

As Mauricio said, we (Syst) have total interest in keeping a close 
contact with KDE and KDE-EDU, helping on improvements not only in 
KEduca app, but the whole Educational stack in open source, whenever 
possible. 
 
It&#39;s important to note that our distro is being shipped in thousands 
of Intel Classmates. Here in Brazil we have more then 13.000 already 
delivered, and more 150.000 to go, as the UCA (One Laptop per Child) 
Project from Brazil&#39;s government is being launched. 
 
On the desktop side, we have about 4.000 thousand schools here in our 
state, Minas Gerais, with approximately 15 computers each, all of them 
with KDE on in it. 
 
There is also another dekstop project, from the Communication area of 
the government, that plans to deliver 20.000 labs, each one with 15 
computers. From this total, 5.000 was already delivered, and the rest 
will be delivered on the following months. 
 
With KEduca, we want to share/contribute with code, expertise and help 
on stimulating teachers and institutions to develop and share new 
tests/KEduca files. 
 
The Educational Area of our Government has an awesome portal 
(<a href="http://portaldoprofessor.mec.gov.br/recursos.html" \
target="_blank">http://portaldoprofessor.mec.gov.br/recursos.html</a>) with tons \
of contents (66G so far), and we think it&#39;ll be a good area to share the 
pt-br KEduca tests. 
 
I&#39;ll be looking closely for the KEduca-new development, as I truly 
believe this will a win-win situation, and a very interesting project! 
 
Best Regards!
