Open source project candidates

Choice 1: OO4Kids

• Description: OO4Kids (pronounced "OpenOffice for Kids") is a software (work in progress) designed for 7-12 children, based on OpenOffice.org source code, but simplified. This means OpenOffice.org has some features OO4Kids has not
• Reasoning: Analyzing OO4Kids gives our team a good sense of purpose, because we will be testing educational software for older children and young teens.

Choice 2: Martus

• Description: Martus, the Greek word for "witness," is a software tool that allows users to document incidents of abuse by creating bulletins, and storing them on redundant servers located around the world. Using Martus helps countries torn apart by civil conflicts come to a consensus and rational understanding of their histories, leading to reconciliation and reform processes.
• Reasoning: Any platform that has the potential to save lives and bring families together is helpful for humanitarian efforts. We like the philosophy behind Martus, and hope to test its limitations.

Choice 3: Koha-ILS

• Description: Koha is the first open-source Integrated Library System (ILS).
• Reasoning: We are interested to see the full functionality of Koha in order to analyze the effectiveness of software that runs hundreds of our country's libraries.
