[Wylug-discuss] Yesterday's WYLUG meeting.

[Duncan Entwisle]

Yesterday's meeting was the first I've attended: thanks, it was very 
interesting. (Unfortunately I didn't have the opportunity to stick 
around, as I had to catch the train home.)

I've been trying to remember if Alex Hudson explained how he got from 
the Word document to the document in his micro-format (i.e. whether he 
used some form of computerised-voodoo, or had a team of slaves to 
transcribe the documents across)?

Ian Lynch's talk was also interesting for its insight into OpenOffice 
(and open-source generally) in education. I would have loved to have a 
more in-depth view of what teachers/children actually need. The only 
experience I have of computing from school were a few BBCs and a 
RM-380Z, and then they were really technology looking for a problem to 
solve. I'd be interested to see how they've been integrated since then.

Duncan.
