Without getting into the details of whether the Kerala experiment is a 
total, partial or not at all a success from a free software point of 
view, all I wanted was soft copies of existing work that can be used for 
schools, for teachers and for train the trainers programmes under an 
open licence.  If there are lacunae in the courseware we're quite open 
to filling them.  However, without those basic tools the whole 
discussion is meaningless for me, at least from the specific requirement 
with which I approached the list -- all it means is that we need a new 
team to develop everything from scratch.  Something someone said at the 
recent FOSSCOMM meeting in Delhi led me to understand that all the 
course (at all 3 levels) was available for download under an open 
licence.
