Open Office 4 Kids

The idea behind Open Office 4 Kids is to provide a version of Open Office for children between the age of 7 and 12. The project is in its early stages with version 0.5 recently released to the public. The main difference between Open Office and Open Office 4 Kids are the missing features in Open Office 4 Kids (Java and Base are for example not included in this release). A benefit of this is the performance gain when working with Open Office 4 Kids compared to a default Open Office installation.
The interface is different as well. Open Office 4 Kids makes use of less buttons in the interface and divides them into a header toolbar and sidebar. The changes are slim at the moment but the developers have plans to implement additional changes in future releases. The main difference on the other hand is that Open Office 4 Kids is a simplified version of Open Office.

Wow, that is a very nice idea! Add in a few educational and a few entertainment games and one could perhaps even build an entire Linux-based OS for kids to use (for free) and learn on?
