Introduction

There is a body of Open Source courseware that already exists. Please evaluate these programs and write a detailed review on this page. If you know of a program that should be reviewed, add it to the list.

Note that some of these existing projects may need to be ported in order to be usable. For instance changing the GUI from KDE to GTK. Please note this in the reviews.
