+
+<p>The <a href="http://www.skolelinux.org/">Debian Edu / Skolelinux
+project</a> is making great progress and made its second Wheezy based
+release today.  This is the release announcement:</p>
+
+<p><strong>New features for Debian Edu 7.0.0 alpha1 released
+2013-05-14</strong></p>

+
+<p><strong>About Debian Edu and Skolelinux</strong></p>
+
+<p>Debian Edu, also known as Skolelinux, is a Linux distribution based
+on Debian providing an out-of-the box environment of a completely
+configured school network. Immediatly after installation a school
+server running all services needed for a school network is set up just
+waiting for users and machines being added via GOsa², a comfortable
+Web-UI. A netbooting environment is prepared using PXE, so after
+initial installation of the main server from CD, DVD or USB stick all
+other machines can be installed via the network.</p>
+
+<p>This is the first test release based on Wheezy (which currently is
+not released yet). Basically this is an updated and slightly improved
+version compared to the Squeeze release.</p>
+
+<p><strong>Software updates</strong></p>
+<ul>

+  <li>Install goplay (0.5-1.1) to make golearn available by default.</li>
+  <li>Updated support for Japanese input methods, now based on
+    ibus-anthy.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p><strong>Other changes</strong></p>
+<ul>
+
+  <li>Switched default file system from ext3 to ext4 for speed and
+    reliability improvements.</li>
+  <li>Got rid of unwanted winbind daemon and PAM setup activated because
