[kde-edu]: Sugg: Framework for Science Meters

[Karl Sarnow]

Excellent idea. I would like to promote the development of an OpenSource 
laboratory at Xplora.

We have some partner working on Webexperiments. Please have a look at 
our webpages.

Brining in their experience might be useful.

 From my point of view, the OpenSource laboratory should focus on 
Hardware interfacing to the USB port and Software taking signals from 
there.

I am sure that thre is a lot of softrware existing. Having an overview 
would be nice.

Thanks for the initiative.
