INTRODUCTION

The Education Project from OpenOffice.org aims to be the single window
for students, teachers, academics and persons interested in education to
join, participate and contribute to the OpenOffice.org project.

The Education Project intends to also help create course content aimed
at potential contributors that can be adopted and adapted to varying
needs. The Project thus provides:

- a development category so as to have a central view for students into
the development of OpenOffice.org
- a tools category listing several tools available through
OpenOffice.org
- a set of stories about inclusion and usage of OpenOffice.org in
schools and universities
- links to enable developers to begin contributing to OpenOffice.org

documentation, creating artwork, triaging bugs, doing QA "together"
