Simón,
I think that a wiki (or a blog) is a great idea. This Indiana
initiative is by far the biggest free software deployment in US
schools, and at the same time, seemingly a state secret. Very little
news about this project has gotten out to the rest of the open source
community in the US, which is bad for Indiana and for the rest of the
community.
I agree, and I think that's because this isn't being done by the open
source community, this is being done by a governmental institution.
Linux is being dropped in the laps of people who don't have experience
with it, and I can imagine most schools don't have someone like me who
can step up and take responsibility.
I don't say this conceitedly; my job description does not include doing
this, no one's here does, I'm basically volunteering in this role
because I believe in this program.
It sounds like you're doing excellent work at your school.
I just do what I can, when I have the time. I can imagine what having a
real Linux support person would do for this program, though.
