Speaking of reliable and intuitive... ;-)

OSV is about to launch the following:

Open Source Victoria has prepared the following report for the primary and
secondary education sector. Within it, we have researched and provided a
synopsis on a range of software which we believe will be beneficial to
educators and students. We have also included a large list of other
open source applications.

Specifically, our objectives are:

a) to increase the awareness of open source software amongst all Victorian
   schools,

b) to provide an easy mechanism for educators to review and select
   software,

c) to increase the understanding of the merits of open source Software
   amongst students of Information Technology courses in schools,

d) to help the education sector save money on software licences, which
   could be re-deployed on hardware or staff professional development.


This (draft) catalog (12+ MB PDF) is available for download now, from:
