This paper was an exercise in website evaluation (Something we did, and wrote much about during the days of Web Techniques Magazine)

What makes this evaluation interesting (if at all), is the realization that it isn't so much the tools of Open Source projects, as much as the process, that can be of most benefit to K12 education.

While software developers have been quick to realize the potential of online collaboration as a powerful means of getting their work done, and have modelled the process in web sites that support open source projects, teachers are only beginning to realize this potential.

This evaluation puts the process into a social learning context that may be more familiar to educators.
