On one of the technical Linux/Open Source lists I am subscribed to,
a
teacher complained about the lack of a mailing list for Free and Open
Source Software for the non-technical users in schools.
Whenever I hear this complaint, I try to read between the lines a little
bit. What kind of information is this teacher looking for, exactly, and
how will another mailing list help to deliver it?

As I'm working currently on a book on the use of Free and Open
Source
software in K-12 schools, and I think the complaint is reasonable.
So, I have started a mailing list for this purpose at
http://groups.google.com/group/k12opensource. While responses at the
beginning will be limited, I'll announce this list at NECC in our Open
Source lab and during our Birds of a Feather session on K12 Open
Source as well.
I'm also starting a wiki that we'll make public in the next few weeks
as well that will hopefully add to the resources in this arena.
For those who are interested, there are other K12 Open Source
resources available at the following websites:
