* Wow! Thanks for posting this topic and your techela.
* Suggest an "Introduction to Programming in Emacs Lisp" and OrgMode be
everyone's first, and maybe last, required course in grade school--other
than Reading, Writing and Arithmetic of course!
* Suggest all students download this free book and conquer it:
http://www.lulu.com/us/en/shop/robert-chassell/an-introduction-to-programming-in-emacs-lisp/ebook/product-17413062.html
** A masterpiece by Robert J. Chassell.
* Also suggest his free online copy of "Software Freedom: An Introduction",
for more philosophy on the Free Software movement, to benefit students and
teachers.
** Most especially chapter 13, which covers why non-free software limits
learning--and a whole lot more:
