This really isn't the best group for this subject but the 'software' is totally
empty and I'm not sure who might know this information.  I want to know what
sort of Public Domain or cheaply available software educational software is
presently 'out there'.  I have ideas for creating educational software
(generally in the form of quiz-type games in math, history, grammar etc.) for
PCs and compatibles for elementary and middle school age children.  I know that
schools have to go through budget discussions and whatnot in order to acquire
many copies of certain expensive educational software, so this area looks like
one that could use PD works.  I'd be happy to spend several hundred hours
working on this if I knew that there were places that would happily accept free
software and use it.  Does anyone know either if things like this are already
out there or if there is a need or what newsgroup might know?

Thanks in advance,
