Doug,

The list is absolutely useful and worth having.  I am just way too busy
personally to contribute much to it, but I do read it.  

I am hoping to convince one of my K12 clients to go with a linux based lab
(netboot with X11) sometime soon so I can have the time to start playing
around with the various packages.  Got lots of linux servers running in
K12, happily keeping their email flowing, web pages served, etc.

The project probably needs more exposure to the traditional K12
teacher/staff base out there.  It seems to me that most of the people on
the list are techies who care about education, and not as many teachers
who want to know how they could use linux.

Have any figures on how many people are subscribed?  Is is 100? 1000?
