[suse-schools-usa] We need a list charter [ was: Re: Whoa ]

[Lance Lane]

These were only ideas for a target audience.  

I think server questions and implementation Ideas would come under 
"Implementing Linux in the classroom."

Questions like, "How do I get Linux to recognize my Modem?" , would fall 
under technical support.  These are two different brands of questions.

Of course I would expect that the charter would be posted on the SuSe site?  
And would have directions to point people toward technical support?
