DebianEdu is about improving Debian to make it the best distribution for educational use.

How to help
You can help in many ways :

Metapackages
For an easy installation of the education-related software, there are some metapackages for DebianEdu.
see packages : education-tasks (and all education-* packages)
Feel free to propose enhancements to those metapackages on the mailing list.
Goals
- Classify and package all free software related to education.
